Primary Outcome(s)
Near final height (NFH) standard deviation score (SDS) measured in scores [Time Frame: At the end of the study (up to 10 years)]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Adherence response as indicated in question at the bottom of newly developed Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) questionnaire each time questionnaire is filled out (preferably at each visit) [Time Frame: From baseline (month 0) to end of study (up to 10 years)]
Change in growth rate (height velocity standard deviation score, HV SDS) [Time Frame: From baseline (month 0) to end of study (up to 10 years)]
Change of self-rated adherence level throughout the study measured in newly developed PRO questionnaire each time questionnaire is filled out (preferably at each visit) [Time Frame: From baseline (month 0) to end of study (up to 10 years)]
Adherence measured as number of medication devices returned versus number of prescribed devices for the period between visits [Time Frame: From baseline (month 0) to end of study (up to 10 years)]
Change in growth rate (HV SDS) between visits (usually patients are seen every 3 to 6 months) [Time Frame: From baseline (month 0) to end of study (up to 10 years)]
