Since 1985, growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in children has been the first condition treated with daily injections of recombinant human growth hormone. Noncompliance with daily growth hormone (GH) therapy is common. Several long-acting growth hormone (LAGH) treatments have recently become available for prescription in France after pivotal phase III trials demonstrated the non-inferiority of these LAGH compared to daily GH administration. To date, published data on LAGH in children are largely limited to clinical trials of GH deficiency (GHD). Contrary to what is observed with daily GH, body mass index increases during the first year of LAGH treatment. With the Somapacitan, the observed mean body mass index (BMI) (SDS) remained within the normal range, but with an increase from -0.17 to +0.39 in the LAGH group and a decrease from -0.25 to -0.49 in the daily GH group. In the Somatrogon st
