Growth hormone deficiency after mild combat-related traumatic brain injury

Conclusions Our study found a 25 % prevalence of GHD in veterans with mild TBI as shown by glucagon stimulation. The neuropsychological findings raise the possibility that GHD has adverse effects on executive abilities and mood. Further studies are needed to determine whether GH replacement is an effective treatment in these patients.
