Abstract		It is generally recognized that children born small for gestational age (SGA) have a 5-7 times higher risk of short stature than children born of normal size. Failure of catch-up growth in the first three years additionally predicts poor growth and reduced final height. Growth hormone treatment has favorable short-term effects, whereas long-term effects on final height remain to be determined.
Summary		Pri otrocih, rojenih z nizko porodno težo in dolžino glede na gestacijsko starost, je 5- do 7-krat večja verjetnost, da bodo nizke rasti. Posebej ogrožena je skupina otrok, ki je v prvih letih življenja ne uspe nadomestiti primanjkljaja v višini. Zdravljenje z visokimi odmerki rastnega hormona je kratkoročno učinkovito, vpliv na končno višino in s tem dolgoročni uspeh zdralvjenja pa zaenkrat še nista ugotovljena.
