Annual GV was critical in the final height (FH) of children with 21-OHD. However, we observed inconsistency between the biochemical parameters in the follow-ups, and there were difficulties in evaluating these markers. Therefore, annual GV SDSs and biochemical findings should be used together in patients with 21-OHD at follow-ups.
