The group mean values ± SEM for the Response Score calculated at 1, 2, 3 and 4 years of GH treatment. The equation was applied to data from children who have values from all four annual measurements on GH treatment: the model group (n = 51) and validation group (n = 54). The observed height at the yearly measurement is used for estimation of the RS (1–4 years). This shows that a reliable model gives constant RS values during 4 years of GH treatment.
