Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) provocation test, which includes repeated blood measurements following pharmacological stimuli, may be stressful for the children and their family. Thirty-three short stature children with impaired growth rate were studied during GH provocation tests to determine if the test is associated with increased anxiety and if increased anxiety affects the test results.
