Development of a Novel Algorithm to Identify People with High Likelihood of Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency in a US Healthcare Claims Database

Table 1

Age and sex distribution of the study cohort overall and by the likelihood of having AGHD.

	Likelihood of having AGHD (%)			Study cohort (%)
	High	Moderate	Low
All	0.48	5.98	93.55	100.00
Female	0.28	4.28	47.15	51.71
Male	0.20	1.70	46.39	48.29
Age group (years)
>18–≤30	0.06	0.63	23.43	24.12
>30–≤40	0.05	0.97	18.25	19.27
>40–≤50	0.08	1.45	16.72	18.25
>50–≤60	0.12	1.79	17.29	19.19
