Popis: The impact of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) on growth in patients diagnosed with mucopolysaccharidosis I Hurler (MPS-IH) has been historically regarded as unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, the growth patterns recorded in transplanted patients have always been compared to those of healthy children.The objective of this study was to verify the impact of HSCT on MPS-IH long term growth achievements. The auxological data of 15 patients were assessed longitudinally and compared both to the WHO growth centiles for healthy individuals and to recently published curves of untreated MPS-IH children. Despite a progressive decrease after HSCT when estimated with reference to the WHO growth charts, median height SDS showed a progressive and statistically significant increase when comparing the stature recorded at each timepoint in our population to the curves of untreated MPS-IH individuals (from ‐0.39 SDS at t0 to +1.35 SDS 5 years after HSCT, p value
