Abstract

An exercise test measuring energy expenditure was performed on a bicycle ergometer by 98 patients in the outpatient clinic. Results concordant with the final diagnosis were obtained in 89% of the 75 children referred because of short stature and in 65% of the 23 children with associated chronic disorders.
