The Pediatric Endocrine Society recently published new guidelines for the use of growth hormone (hGH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (hIGF-I) treatment for GH deficiency (GHD), idiopathic short stature (ISS) and primary IGF-I deficiency (PIGFD) in children and adolescents. This review places the new guidelines in historical contexts of the life cycle of hGH and the evolution of U.S. health care, and highlights their future implications. The new hGH guidelines, the first to be created by the GRADE approach, are more conservative than their predecessors. They follow an extended period of hGH therapeutic expansion at a time when U.S. health care is pivoting towards value-based practice. There are strong supporting evidence and general agreement regarding the restoration of hormonal normalcy in children with severe deficiency of GH or IGF-I. More complex are issues related to hGH treatment to increase growth rates and heights of otherwise healthy short children with either ISS or “partial” isolated idiopathic GHD. The guidelines-developing process revealed fundamental questions about hGH treatment that still need evidence-based answers. Unless and until such research is performed, a more restrained hGH-prescribing approach is appropriate.
