The potential benefit of growth hormone (GH) administration to increase adult height of normal children of short stature might be blurred by the accuracy and the precision of the prediction methods used to estimate final height before onset of therapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate three prediction methods: Bayley-Pinneau (BP), Roche-Wainer-Thissen (RWT) and Tanner-Whitehouse Mark II (TW2) and to improve their accuracy and precision by exploring their correlation with various parameters obtained in peripubertal children with poor predicted adult height.
