Based on post\u2010treatment stretched penile length standard deviation scores, the patients were classified into three response groups: good (Group 1), intermediate (Group 2), and poor (Group 3). Baseline pre\u2010treatment stretched penile length, glans width, hormone levels, and timing of testosterone replacement therapy were compared among the groups. Logistic regression analysis was used for identifying predictors of favorable response.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were statistically significant differences in stretched penile length and glans width among the three groups. Although testosterone replacement therapy initiated during mini\u2010puberty was more frequent in Group 3 than in the other groups, this difference was not substantial. Using logistic regression analysis, we identified baseline pretreatment stretched penile length and glans width as independent predictors of treatment response, with glans width showing stronger predictive power.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Initial penile dimensions, particularly glans width, were reliable predictors of testosterone replacement therapy efficacy in boys with micropenis.
