Relationship Mapping (RMAP) of traditional factors with hormonal levels. Each square is comprised of a box accompanied with each color coded circles with intervening lines joining those variables. Each circle represents the specific group in that color coded variable (color coding denotes each variable on right) and bottom line represents relationship count which represents the strength of associations between variables (Higher frequency denotes darker line). Size of the circle denotes the number of patients in each circle with a category count expressed on left. (A-C), Height Weight and BMI relationship with age and sex matched high, low or normal values of GH, IGF-1 and IGFBP3 hormones in a network type relationship map. D, disease activity with WHO z scores of height, weight and BMI (z score>-2 is counted as normal). (E-F), duration and cumulative dose of GC use with WHO z score categories for growth failure. (G-J), Polar relationship map for describing frequency of associations of IAP standard defined growth failure (below 3 percentile values of age, sex matched Indian population) with disease activity, duration of GC use, cumulative GC dose and disease duration. K, disease activity and steroid use with attainment of age appropriate Tanner stage of puberty in a network type relationship map
