Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD): Assessing Parent Burden for Child Growth Hormone Deficiency Treatment: The Growth Hormone Deficiency - Parent Treatment Burden Measure (GHD-PTB)

Brod Meryl , Rasmussen Michael Højby , Vad Knud , Alolga Suzanne , Bedoin Jacques

Background: Treatment for child GHD requires daily injections, which can be painful and disruptive. For most children, these injections are administered by an adult, usually their parent. Unfortunately, little is known about the burden that a child's treatment places on a parent. The GHD-PTB was developed according to FDA/EMA guidances to address this gap. Items were based on qualitative interviews of 31 parents of children with GHD, ages 4 to <13 year...

Type 1 Diabetes Associated Serum Insulin-Like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) Reference Values in Children and Adolescents

Oberg Daniel , Salemyr Jenny , Ortqvist Eva , Juul Anders , Bang Peter

Background: The disturbance of the GH-IGF-axis in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) with low circulating IGF-I, GH hypersecretion, and hyperinsulinemia, which may be associated with high tissue IGF-I, have implications on long-term vascular complications.Objective and hypotheses: To establish disease, sex and age related serum IGF-I reference values for children with T1DM and test the hypothesis that IGF-I SDS is lower in T1DM than in healthy controls and negativel...

Congenital Hyperinsulinism in a Child with Alagille Syndrome

Khan Durray Shahwar , Dastamani Antonia , Antell Hannah , Shah Pratik

Background: Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, with highly variable phenotype affecting multiple organs. Commonly presents in infancy or early childhood as cholestasis. Mutations in the notch signaling pathway ligand (JAG1) or its receptor (NOTCH2) lead to ALGS. This pathway is important for the pancreatic development. However,no cases of ALGS with Congenital Hyperinsulinism (CHI) have been reported to date.<p class="abste...

Diagnosis and management of a child with pituitary adenoma

Skovsager Andersen Marianne ,

A prolactinoma is the most common pituitary adenoma, but a pituitary adenoma is rarely diagnosed in children. Corticotropinomas and somatotropinomas are observed, whereas clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas, TSH-adenomas and gonadotroph adenomas are very rare in children; a minor percentage of pituitary tumours are aggressive. Genetic cause and syndromic disease are more often seen in children and adolescents with a pituitary adenoma compared to adults, and it is nec...

Nursing care for the child with gender dysphoria

Carruthers Paul ,

This presentation will provide an insight into the Gender identity Development service (GIDS) endocrine pathway. The service has experienced a difficult year with well documented legal challenges; these will be briefly presented highlighting the impact this has had on patient care. It is important when working with gender incongruent young people to be aware of the use of appropriate pronouns, co-occurring difficulties and the importance of advocacy in our nursing practice.
