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

Table 3

Diagnostic tests for GHD in the study cohort by the likelihood of having AGHD.

	Likelihood of having AGHD (%)
	High	Moderate
IGF-I serum level	19.2	4.3
GH serum level	7.2	1.0
GH stimulation test (arginine/levodopa)	0.3	0.0
GH stimulation test (glucagon)	0.1	0.1
GH stimulation test (insulin tolerance)	0.1	0.0

Data shown for the high- and moderate-likelihood groups. %, percentage of people from the respective likelihood group; AGHD, adult growth hormone deficiency; GH, growth hormone; GHD, growth hormone deficiency; IGF-I, insulin-like growth factor-I.
