ABSTRACT
Purpose: Short stature has been reported in pediatric cancer survivors. Data on retinoblastoma survivors are limited. We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the height in retinoblastoma survivors. Method: The recorded height was compared with median height for age and sex as per the Indian Academy of Pediatrics. Z-score less than -2 was considered short statured. Result: Thirty percent of the survivors were short statured. The mean height was shorter than the mean 50th percentile height (119.7 ± 14.8 vs 128.7 ± 15 cm, p < 0.001). Previous chemotherapy showed a trend toward association (p = 0.09). Conclusion: Short stature affects a significant number of retinoblastoma survivors (AU)
