Abstract
The French Safety and Appropriateness of Growth Hormone treatments in Europe (SAGhE) cohort has raised concern of increased mortality risk during follow-up into adulthood in certain patients who had received growth hormone (GH) treatment during childhood. The Hypopituitary Control and Complications Study monitored mortality and morbidity of adult GH-deficient patients including those with childhood-onset GH deficiency (COGHD) who received GH treatment as children. Evaluate risk of mortality, cancer, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in a prospective observational study. COGHD patients [n = 1,204, including 389 diagnosed with idiopathic COGHD (ICOGHD)] had received pediatric GH treatment. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs), and cancer... (More)
The French Safety and Appropriateness of Growth Hormone treatments in Europe (SAGhE) cohort has raised concern of increased mortality risk during follow-up into adulthood in certain patients who had received growth hormone (GH) treatment during childhood. The Hypopituitary Control and Complications Study monitored mortality and morbidity of adult GH-deficient patients including those with childhood-onset GH deficiency (COGHD) who received GH treatment as children. Evaluate risk of mortality, cancer, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in a prospective observational study. COGHD patients [n = 1,204, including 389 diagnosed with idiopathic COGHD (ICOGHD)] had received pediatric GH treatment. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs), and cancer standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) in patients without a prior cancer were estimated relative to reference populations. Crude incidence rates were estimated for MI and stroke. No increased mortality or cancer incidence was observed, as compared with reference populations, during a follow-up of 3.7 +/- A 3.3 years (mean +/- A SD). The overall SMR for COGHD was 1.14 [95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.55-2.10], and for ICOGHD, 0.33 (0.01-1.84). The overall cancer SIR for COGHD was 0.27 (0.01-1.50), and for ICOGHD, 0.00 (0.00-2.45). No incident case of MI was reported. The crude stroke incidence rate [181.3 per 100,000 person-years] in COGHD patients was consistent with the rates reported in reference populations. No incident case of stroke was identified in ICOGHD patients who are presumed to have no increased stroke risk factors. The results indicate no increased risk of mortality or incidence of cancer, stroke, or MI in adult GH-deficient patients who had previously received pediatric GH treatment. (Less)
