Accuracy and consequences of reported target height.

The discrepancy between reported and measured TH (R-TH and M-TH) was significantly higher in the group SS compared to noSS (median 1.8 cm/0.3 SDS vs. 0.8 cm/0.1 SDS; I P i < .01). Children referred for SS with CHt <-1.5 SDS below TH were 38 (58%) considering R-TH and 29 (45%) looking at M-TH ( I P i < .01).
