First-morning urinary luteinizing hormone and bone age decomposition for diagnosis of central precocious puberty in girls: a two-step prediction model study

The diagnosis of central precocious puberty (CPP) in girls relies on the invasive gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation test. Urinary luteinizing hormone (LH) is a noninvasive candidate biomarker, but evidence from Chinese populations and its integration into multivariable prediction frameworks remain l...

Impact of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog therapy on growth and metabolism in girls with central precocious puberty: A narrative review

Central precocious puberty (CPP) is a neuroendocrine disorder resulting from premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, leading to accelerated sexual maturation and bone age advancement. A key clinical consequence is impaired growth dynamics, which may result in reduced final height. This na...
