Low Utilization of Puberty Blockers and Hormones in Clinic

A clinic that saw 3,306 patients between 2018 and 2023, only referred 178 kids to endocrinology, indicating low eligibility for puberty blockers or hormones. Out of those referred, only 145 kids per year received puberty blockers, with even fewer, 97 kids per year, receiving both puberty blockers and hormones. This highlights the minimal utilization of these treatments in the clinic.
