Pediatric growth hormone deficiency (pGHD) is a rare disorder characterized by inadequate growth hormone secretion. Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is the current standard of care; however, daily injections may represent a burden to patients and caregivers, affecting patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study evaluated the HRQoL of Greek patients receiving daily rhGH, and the burden of patients and caregivers. This cross-sectional study enrolled...

Vitamin D is a steroid hormone, essential for the immune system and bone health. Given that sun exposure is meant to provide at least 80% of daily vitamin D requirements, the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have a considerable influence on calcium metabolism We retrieved anonymized data on calcium metabolism parameters assessing the occurrence of subclinical hyperparathyroidism – subclinical nutritional rickets (PTH ≥ 45 pg/ml with normal serum Ca ≤ 10.5 mg/dl) in c...

Boros Emese , Marcelis Lionel , Van Vliet Guy , Elilie Mawa Ongoth Farel , Heinrichs Claudine , Brachet Cecile

In Belgium, neonatal TSH screening for congenital hypothyroidism has been performed between day 3 and 5 of life since the late seventies. In January 2015, a policy of early discharge of healthy neonates was implemented so that the neonatal screening strategy had to be adapted. Between January 2015 and September 2019, dried blood spot sampling was mostly collected at home AFTER discharge at 72 h of life (Newborn Screening Strategy 1 (NBS1)). After October 2019, sampling was mos...
