Methods: Retrospective analysis growth health data 80 patients aged 0-7 years performed. The for analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves. Results: median age when first (≥2.0 SDS) value detected 0.3 (range 0.0-5.3). At (3.6 years), 53.8% exhibited HCHR. alone 0.78 (95% CI 0.72-0.84), but comparison seven National Institutes Health criteria NF1, second most prevalent feature. Conclusion: Elevated is an frequent feature children. Taking into account detection
