Stature is best monitored with the input of pediatric endocrinologists. They would be the first in line to promote AI use off label if there were a benefit. This use is not approved by the FDA. The best predictor of a childs' final height is the average of both parents +2.5 inches/males. An x-ray of their wrist/hand to verify bone maturity can identify whether growth hormone would be reasonable rx
