Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Our objective is to evaluate the outcome in adulthood of Belgian and Luxembourgish patients treated with rhGH during childhood for CO-GHD. The primary goal is to determine the proportion of adult CO-GHD patients who continue to receive regular medical follow-up and those still undergoing rhGH therapy using a questionnaire. Secondary objectives include assessing the regularity of follow-up and compliance with treatment in adulthood, evaluating possible comorbidities, health issues, lifestyle, living environment, and quality of life. Additionally, we aim to assess the metabolic profile in adulthood, particularly focusing on BMI, glycemic, and lipid data, for patients who consent to share their current clinical and biological data. Data will be described according to treatment adherence and CO-GHD etiology/phenotypes (e.g., idiopathic vs. organic GHD, isolated vs. combined GHD, partial vs. severe GHD).

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

We aim to include both male and female adult patients with a diagnosis of childhood onset-GHD, registered in BELGROW, that stopped the GH therapy for growth after 2011 and have a persistent GHD in adolescence/transition period. After completing a questionnaire, each participant will be assigned an analysis group:

* Group 1: Patients with regular follow-up for their GHD (treated with rhGH or not) in a adult endocrinology department including a clinical examination and endocrine blood work-up at least once a year
* Group 2: Patients who are lost to follow-up or not regularly followed for their GHD (or only followed by their GP with no endocrine assessment)

Biological Sample

Intervention Type OTHER

Clinical examination and blood test. The clinical examination and blood test are considered standard-of-care as they could be performed annually or bi-annually as part of an adult GHD follow-up. Subsequently, the data will be collected directly from the patient's chosen physician.
