We aimed to examine The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL 4.0) and the Body Esteem for Adolescents and Adults Scale (BESAA) for children. Methods The groups were determined as those whose puberty signs had not yet started (Group 1), those having with breast development stage 3 and/or larger (Group 2), and those who had received gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) treatment for at least 6 months (Group 3). Results A total of 145 girls (Group 1: 41, Group 2: 56, Group 3: 48), were included. The PedsQL scores of the Group 1 was higher than Group 2 (78.5 ± 10.3 vs. 70.1 ± 14.2; p=0.008). The PedsQL scores of the Group 1 was higher but not statistically different from Group 3 (78.5 ± 10.3 vs. 74.2 ± 14.3; p=0.401). The PedsQL scores of Group 2 was not statistically different from Group 3 (p=0.354). There was no statistical difference in BESAA scores between groups (p=0.291). Group 1’s PedsQL Health and Activity subscale score was higher than Group 2 (p=0.002). Conclusion The QOL of the girls with PP was found to be lower than their healthy peers. Health and Activity-related QOL scores were found to be lower in the untreated group, indicating that girls with PP were probably significantly disturbed by their puberty-related physical development at the onset of the disease.","PeriodicalId":16746,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism","volume":"120 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141881029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods This is a cross-sectional study of youth with laboratory-confirmed DKA admitted to a large tertiary children’s hospital in the USA. Data were collected from admissions in March through July 2019 and March through July 2020, respectively. We evaluated the clinical characteristics of hospitalization, including demographic data and DKA severity. We used univariable ordinal logistic regression followed by multiple ordinal logistic regression to adjust for potential confounders. Results We included 137 children with diabetes admitted for DKA in the relevant period in 2019 and 173 patients admitted for DKA in the same period in 2020. Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) upon admission was higher in 2020 (median=12.2 %) than in 2019 (11.5 %, p=0.018). Children who were admitted with DKA in 2020 were less likely to be autoantibody positive than those in 2019 (83 vs. 91 %, p=0.028). In the univariable model, being admitted in 2020 was significantly associated with more severe DKA (p=0.038), as was HbA1c (p=0.001). After adjusting for HbA1c upon admission, admission year was no longer significantly associated with more severe DKA. Conclusions In this study of pediatric diabetes of any type and duration of diabetes, youth admitted for DKA at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, compared with those admitted during the year before, were more likely to have autoantibody-negative diabetes and had significantly higher HbA1c.

The aims of this study were to assess GH prescribing practices and growth outcomes over time, the prevalence and predictors of scoliosis in GH-treated PWS children, and the near-final height of GH-treated PWS patients. Design and Methods This is a retrospective, descriptive study evaluating data from all clinic visits of patients aged 0–18 years with PWS, seen through the Children’s Hospital at Westmead between March 1992 and May 2022 (n=75). Results A total of 64 patients were treated with GH (visits = 1,414). In the recent decade, the diagnosis of PWS and GH commencement were made significantly earlier in life. The prevalence of scoliosis was 41 %, in which age was the only significant predictor for scoliosis (odds ratio 1.19: 95 % CI [1.08–1.31; p=0.001]) adjusted for other predictors. In patients with data available at the age 16 years (23/28 treated with GH), those who were GH treated had significantly higher height SDS vs. nontreated group (SDS −0.67 vs. −2.58; p=0.0001) and lower BMI SDS (1.18 vs. 2.37; p<0.001). Conclusions Significant improvements in growth and body composition were seen in the GH-treated group vs. non-treated group of children with PWS.

Despite its severity, there exists a dearth of data concerning the frequency and prevalence of DKA at the onset of type 1 diabetes in Libyan children. This study aimed to ascertain the frequency of DKA during the initial presentation of type 1 diabetes among children aged 0.5–14 years admitted to Tripoli Children’s Hospital between 2011 and 2018. Methods Employing a retrospective approach, the study examined the proportion of children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes who presented with DKA. Data analysis included estimating DKA frequency concerning age at presentation, sex, and age groups. The comparative analysis involved assessing DKA frequency between 0.5 and <2 and 2–14 years age groups. Logistic regression analysis evaluated the impact of age group, sex, and family history of type 1 diabetes on DKA and severe DKA occurrence. Results Among 497 children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, 39.2 % presented with DKA, of these 44.5 % had severe DKA. Females exhibited a higher DKA rate than males (OR 1.63, 95 % CI 1.13–2.34, p=0.009). Very young children (0.5 to <2 years) presented with DKA more frequently than those aged 2–14 years (OR 4.73, 95 % CI 2.65–8.47, p<0.001), and they were more likely to present in severe DKA (63.9 vs. 39.1 %, [OR 7.26, 95 % CI 3.65–14.41, p<0.001]).

Among this population, PPH exhibits higher levels of morbidity, severity and target organ involvement compared to adults. When there is suspicion of PPH, cervical ultrasound and 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT are the imaging test traditionally indicated. Among adults, the use of [18F]fluorocholine PET/CT has shown a higher sensitivity than ultrasound and [99mTc]sestamibi SPECT/CT, leading to an expanding adoption in recent years. However, its role in paediatrics has not been clearly defined yet. Case presentation The patient is an adolescent female aged 13 years presented with lithiasis. The analytical study revealed elevated PTH, hipovitaminosis D, hypercalcaemia and hypophosphataemia. Due to the suspicion of PPH, cervical ultrasound and 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/C were performed, failing to identify hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands. We proceeded to carry out a [18F]fluorocholine PET/CT where a hypermetabolic nodular image was identified, compatible with a hyperfunctioning parathyroid adenoma. The patient underwent surgery, resulting in the normalisation of PTH levels. Pathological anatomy confirmed the presence of a parathyroid adenoma.

Pathogenic variants in NR5A1 are associated with a spectrum of disorders of sex development (DSD). Case report A 15-month-old baby, raised as a girl, was referred for genital swelling and ambiguous genitalia. Born to healthy consanguineous parents, the baby had a phallus, perineal hypospadias, labial fusion, and a hypoplastic scrotum. Hormonal evaluation showed normal levels, and ultrasonography revealed small gonads and absence of Müllerian derivatives. Post-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) testing indicated an adequate testosterone response. The karyotype was 46,XY, and in it was found a homozygous NR5A1 variant (c.307 C>T, p.Arg103Trp) in a custom 46 XY DSD gene panel. Notably, the patient exhibited complete sex reversal, hyposplenia, and no adrenal insufficiency. Conclusions Previously, NR5A1 pathogenic variants were considered to be dominantly inherited, and homozygous cases were thought to be associated with adrenal insufficiency. Despite the homozygous pathogenic variant, our patient showed hyposplenism with normal adrenal function; this highlights the complexity of NR5A1 genotype–phenotype correlations. These patients should be monitored for adrenal insufficiency and DSD as well as splenic function.","PeriodicalId":16746,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140798989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
