The changing landscape of acromegaly - an epidemiological perspective.
Acromegaly is a rare disease and thus challenging to accurately quantify epidemiologically. In this comprehensive literature review, we compare different approaches to studying acromegaly from an epidemiological perspective and describe the temporal evolution of the disease pertaining to epidemiological variables, clinical presentation and mortality. We present updated epidemiological data from the population-based Danish cohort of patients with acromegaly (AcroDEN), along with meta-analyses of existing estimates from around the world.Based on this, we conclude that the incidence, prevalence and age at acromegaly diagnosis are all steadily increasing, but with considerable variation between studies. An increased number of incidental cases may contribute to the increase in incidence and age at diagnosis, respectively. The clinical features at presentation are trending toward a milder disease phenotype at diagnosis, and advances in therapeutic options have reduced the mortality of patients with acromegaly to a level similar to that of the general population. Moreover, the underlying cause of death has shifted from cardiovascular to malignant neoplastic diseases.
期刊介绍:
Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders is an international journal dedicated to the field of endocrinology and metabolism. It aims to provide the latest advancements in this rapidly advancing field to students, clinicians, and researchers. Unlike other journals, each quarterly issue of this review journal focuses on a specific topic and features ten to twelve articles written by world leaders in the field. These articles provide brief overviews of the latest developments, offering insights into both the basic aspects of the disease and its clinical implications. This format allows individuals in all areas of the field, including students, academic clinicians, and practicing clinicians, to understand the disease process and apply their knowledge to their specific areas of interest. The journal also includes selected readings and other essential references to encourage further in-depth exploration of specific topics.
