Abstract:
A study was undertaken to investigate compliance in patients receiving growth hormone treatment. Two hundred patients completed a questionnaire designed to establish understanding about and compliance with treatment; 50% of our patients failed to comply with all aspects of their treatment. Failure to respond to treatment seems to be associated with poor compliance.
