    The study evaluated growth patterns in 25 patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) using the QEPS growth model.

  • 2

    Patients with CAH-SW exhibited longer birth lengths but reduced early-life and puberty-specific growth, resulting in shorter adult heights.

  • 3

    CAH-SV girls experienced earlier pubertal growth onset, which also contributed to reduced adult height compared to healthy peers.

  • 4

    All patients received hydrocortisone treatment, with CAH-SW patients additionally receiving mineralocorticoids.

  • 5

    The QEPS model provided detailed analysis of growth trajectories, highlighting distinct growth patterns in CAH patients.
