dc.description.abstractIntroduction: In this retrospective study, it was aimed to examine the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue treatment on final height in girls diagnosed with early puberty (EP) between the ages of 8 and 10. Materials and Methods: In the study, 87 girls who were diagnosed with EP and reached the final height were included. Two groups, those who received GnRH analogue treatment and those who did not, were formed. The average age, bone age, average height, height standard deviation score (SDS), body mass index SDS, target height, predicted adult height of the groups at the time of admission were calculated. The final height they reached and their menarche ages were noted. Results: No difference was found between the groups in terms of average age, average height, height SDS, bone age, body mass index SDS at the time of admission. The target height, predicted adult height, final height and the SDS of these were similar in both groups. All cases in both groups reached the target height. Conclusion: It was determined that the GnRH analogue treatment did not make a positive contribution to the final height in the EP group, who were between the ages of 8 and 10. Therefore, it can be recommended to use GnRHa treatment in EP patients with psychosocial problems and for delaying menarche.en_US
