Height data were converted into standard deviation Z scores. Only girls younger than 10 and boys younger than 12 years old at diagnosis were included. Patients were treated according to a German BFM\u201083 based protocol. Fifty\u2010eight children received 18 Gy cranial irradiation, four 12 Gy, and two 24 Gy. Patients were aggregated into five non\u2010excluding groups according to availability of height data at diagnosis, during the treatment, at the end of it, and several years after; 35 children reached their final height.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Height deficit at the end of the therapeutic treatment was evident (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001).

At the last follow\u2010up, over 5 years after the end of treatment (n\u2009=\u200983) or at final height (n\u2009=\u200935), impressive height deficits were recorded (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001 for both end points). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that growth impairment was more severe in children younger than 4 years at diagnosis and in those who received cranial irradiation.
