§2.2Arms

Table 2. Randomised arms. Illustrative: arm-level allocations are reconstructed by the Institute from the design class and the randomised total where the published report does not state them.

ArmAllocatedShareDescription
GonadorelinOpen-label active treatment; no randomised comparator
The randomised total is not recorded by the Institute and arm-level figures are therefore not presented.

§2.3Population

Indication. Growth hormone deficiency and growth-hormone secretagogue pharmacology

Insufficient endogenous growth-hormone secretion, or the pharmacological stimulation of the growth-hormone axis, assessed here principally through provocative testing and IGF-1 response.

Geographic footprint. Israel · Japan.

§2.4Eligibility as the Institute reads it

  • Included. Insufficient endogenous growth-hormone secretion, or the pharmacological stimulation of the growth-hormone axis, assessed here principally through provocative testing and IGF-1 response.
  • Excluded. Participants for whom the intervention is contraindicated, including known hypersensitivity. Exclusion criteria narrow the population to which the estimate applies and are the principal source of indirectness where a trial estimate is applied to ordinary practice.
Nothing published by the Institute is medical advice, a diagnosis, a prescription, a treatment recommendation or a purchasing recommendation. Compounds supplied for research use are not approved for human or veterinary use in any jurisdiction, and a favourable analytical assessment of a supplier is not a statement that any product is safe or effective. The Institute publishes certainty ratings and never recommendations. No telephone number, messaging handle or ordering channel appears anywhere on this site.
