520 |a Study found that treatment with recombinant human growth hormone gave significantly greater benefits in stature for children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), Turner syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, chronic renal insufficency, short stature homeobox-containing gene deficiency, and those who were small for gestational age, than for untreated children. However, treatment was considered to be cost-effective at a willingness to pay threshold of £20,000-30,000 per quality-adjusted life-year gained only for children with GHD, although the analysis is subject to a range of important uncertainties
