Treatment adherence is crucial for the success of growth hormone (GH) therapy. Reported non-adherence rates in GH treatment have varied widely. Several factors may have an impact on adherence. Apart from these factors, the global impact of the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, including problems with hospital admission and routine follow-up of patients using GH treatment, may have additionally affected the adherence rate.
