Factors affecting growth hormone treatment in short stature children born small for gestational age in China: a single-centre, real-world study.
Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the factors influencing recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment in Chinese children with short stature born small for gestational age (SGA).
Methods: A single-centre, real-world retrospective study was conducted in short stature children born SGA in China. Outcomes were observed at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months. Outcome measures included height standard deviation score (HTSDS), height, growth velocity (GV), and change of HTSDS (ΔHTSDS). The study used the generalized estimating equation (GEE) to identify potential influencing factors, such as rhGH treatment duration, age at rhGH initiation, sex, 11p15 hypomethylation, GH secretion, and birth weight. A subgroup analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of 11p15 hypomethylation related to SGA or impaired GH secretion.
Results: Of all 101 SGA patients included in the screening, 41 were eligible for inclusion in the study. The mean age at rhGH initiation was 5.6 ± 2.4 years. The results of the GEE analysis showed a significant association between time after rhGH initiation and HTSDS, height, GV, and ΔHTSDS. GV increased after treatment, with the highest increase observed in the first six months. Additionally, the study found negative correlations between 11p15 hypomethylation and GV, as well as between birth weight and both GV and ΔHTSDS. The study found a positive correlation between impairment in GH secretion and both GV and ΔHTSDS. No statistically significant difference was observed in the comparison of GV or ΔHTSDS between the initiation age of GH treatment and 11p15 hypomethylation. After 24 and 30 months of rhGH treatment, patients with impaired GH secretion had significantly higher ΔHTSDS scores.
Conclusions: In short stature Chinese children born SGA, those without SGA-related 11p15 hypomethylation or with impaired GH secretion showed better response to rhGH treatment. These findings highlight the importance of pre-treatment evaluation, including genetic and endocrine assessments.
期刊介绍：
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
