Introduction: In the United States, non-Hispanic white (NHW) children are disproportionately over-represented relative to children of racial and ethnic minorities in pediatric growth hormone (GH) treatment registries. This study sought to determine if this racial inequity is due to differences in GH stimulation testing and/or GH prescribing patterns in children referred for endocrine evaluation of short stature. Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed including children aged 2-16 years, with height z-score ≤ -1.5, and of NHW, non-Hispanic black (NHB) or Hispanic race/ethnicity, referred for endocrine growth evaluation between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2019. Age, sex, anthropometry, GH stimulation test results and GH treatment data were extracted. Comparisons between NHB, NHW and Hispanic children were performed using analysis of variance, chi-squared tests, Mann Whitney U and logistic regression tests. Results: This study included 7,425 patients (5,905 NHW, 800 NHB, and 720 Hispanic). GH stimulation testing was performed in 992, and 576 were prescribed GH. NHW children were 1.4 (95% CI 1.04 - 1.8) times more likely than NHB children and 1.7 (95% CI 1.2 - 2.2) times more likely than Hispanic children to undergo GH stimulation testing. NHB children treated with GH had: 1) lower median peak GH concentration when compared with NHW (p=0.02) and Hispanic (p=0.08) children (NHB 4.7 [1.2, 8.3] ng/ml, NHW 7.2 [4.9, 9.7] ng/ml, Hispanic 7.1 [4.3, 11.9] ng/ml); 2) lower median height z-scores than NHW (p=0.01) but not Hispanic children (p=0.5); and 3) a greater height deficit from mid-parental height when compared with NHW (p=0.01) and Hispanic (p=0.002) children Discussion: Racial and ethnic disparities are present in the evaluation and treatment of children with disordered growth. This likely results from both over-investigation of NHW children as well as under-investigation and under-treatment of children from minority communities. The evaluation and treatment of children with short stature should be determined by clinical concern alone, but this is unfortunately not current practice.
