Zusammenfassung:Objectives To determine the relationships between peripubertal and pubertal timing and growth, along with glucocorticoid exposure, to the reduced final adult height seen in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Study design Chart review of 104 children with classic CAH (41 males: 28 salt-wasting, 13 simple-virilizing; 63 females: 38 salt-wasting, 25 simple-virilizing) were selected from a cohort from 3 medical institutions in Minnesota. Triple logistic modeling of longitudinal data was performed to determine patterns of peripubertal and pubertal growth. Results Hydrocortisone dose was similar between subtypes and during all growth periods. Simple-virilizing boys ( P
