Saizen® (recombinant human growth hormone \[r-hGH\]) injection 8 milligram (mg) per 137 milliliter (mL) will be administered using an electronic auto-injector (E-Device) subcutaneously (SC) in the evening as per local Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) for 60 days.
Subjects' Overall Impression After Using E-Device
Subjects' overall impression after using E-Device was measured on a scale ranging from 1 to 3, where 1 = bad, 2 = good, and 3 = very good. Number of subjects with response based on overall impression scale were presented.
Time frame: 2 Weeks
Usefulness and Reliability of E-Device Functions
Following functions were assessed: Display of remaining dose in cartridge, Display of last injection date and time, Automatic needle attachment, Audible and visual signals, Dose injected confirmation, Dose history, Customizable needle insertion speed, Customizable drug insertion speed, Customizable insertion depth, Teach me menu, On screen instructions, Customizable name and picture, Pre-programmed dose and Skin sensor. Usefulness and reliability of each of the E-Device functions was measured on a scale ranging from 1 to 3, where 1 = not useful, 2 = useful, and 3 = very useful. Number of subjects with response based on usefulness and reliability scale were presented.
Time frame: 2 Weeks
Subjects' Feedback Immediately After Initial Training During Inclusion Visit
Subjects' feedback immediately after initial training on the handling and use of E-Device was assessed on scale ranging from 1 to 3, where 1 = difficult, 2 = easy, and 3 = very easy. Subjects were provided training on the following aspects: Cartridge loading, Needle attachment, Needle detachment, Injection process, Navigation in the menu, and Handling of the device. Number of subjects with response based on their feedback were presented.
Time frame: Inclusion visit (Day 1)
Nurse/Physician's Feedback After E-Device Set up During Inclusion Visit
Nurse/physician's feedback was assessed for E-Device setting up and Dose programming on inclusion visit using a scale ranging from 1 to 3, where 1 = difficult, 2 = easy, and 3 = very easy. Nurse/Physician's response for the number of subjects were presented.
Time frame: Inclusion visit (Day 1)

Number of Subjects With Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any new untoward medical occurrences/worsening of pre-existing medical condition without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A Serious AE was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect, AEs leading to discontinuation and AEs leading to death.
Time frame: Day 1 up to Day 90
