Popis:	Introduction: To assess the performance of growth hormone stimulation tests (GHSTs) in the evaluation of short stature. Methods: It was a single-centre retrospective study carried out in children evaluated for short stature between January 2005 to March 2020. The clonidine stimulation test (CST) and glucagon stimulation test (GST) were used to assess growth hormone (GH) reserve (GST was performed only when peak GH levels were between 5 to ≤10 ng/mL on CST). A GH level of
