The incidence of TIDM varies greatly between different countries and regions. In Navarre, located in the north of Spain, at the western end of the Pyrenees, there has been a clear increase in the incidence of TIDM, from 13,5 cases per 100000 in the decade 1990-2000 to 20,1 cases per 100000 between 2006-2011. We wonder if this upward trend has continued in recent years. Our hospital is a reference center for Pediatric Endocrinology in Navarre.Obje...

*Both authors contributed equally to this workBackground: Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusions (CSII) or insulin pumps improve overall glycaemic control in paediatric populations. Children’s access to CSII may partly depend on socioeconomic status (SES), healthcare systems, and funding structures.Aim: The aim of our systematic review was to evaluate whether SES affects children’s a...

La puberté précoce est définie comme le développement des caractéristiques sexuelles avant l'âge de 8 ans chez les filles et de 9,5 ans chez les garçons. L'objectif de notre étude était de calculer la prévalence de la puberté précoce en consultation spécialisée et de décrire le profil clinique, paraclinique, étiologique et de prise en charge ainsi que la qua...

Introduction: As successful rates of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are on the rise, late endocrine and metabolic effects of these survivors have become more prevalent.Aims: We aimed to characterise the endocrine abnormalities observed following HSCT.Subjects and methods: A retrospective descriptive study in paediatric post-HSCT patients (< 18 years-old) follow...

Background: Liver steatosis (LS) results from ectopic fat deposition and can be present in obesity even at early ages. Similar to insulin resistance, the onset of LS does not seem to depend exclusively upon the severity of obesity and shows a large interindividual variability.Objective: Our objective was to develop a predictive normogram for LS in children and adolescents with obesity ba...

Introduction: Adult height in individuals with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is reduced compared to the general population as their growth during childhood can be negatively impacted by both the disease and its treatment. Excess production of androgens through aromatization to estrogens can accelerate height velocity and skeletal maturity, and lead to short stature if not adequately suppressed. Over suppression of adrenal steroids through excess glucoco...
