Hypophosphatasia is a congenital disease, characterized by a defect in bone and dental mineralization, secondary to a deficiency in the biosynthesis of the non-specific tissue isoenzyme of bone, liver and kidney alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Clinical phenotype varies with age and its clinical expression is sometimes very latent. There is a small but significant number of pediatric patients NOT diagnosed with hypophosphatasia. The values of low phosphatases may go unnoticed in...

Currently in Spain, treatment with GH is approved for hospital use with different formulations (JM), multidose vials (VM) and systems with electronic self-injection devices (DE). The long-term treatments, involves the lack of adherence to GH in pediatric patients, it has been estimated a lack of adherence between 5 and 82%. The main objective of this study is to perform a comparative analysis of costs and product loss among the different GH presentations approved in Spain in p...

Background: The deterioration caused DMtipo1 anthropometric and pubertal development. With intensive treatment, improved HbA1c and less microvascular complications should be similar to normal population.Objective: To study the pubertal development in our population with DM1 and final somatometric variables reached in relation to the normal population.Material and methods: Retrospective study of DM1A debut from diagnosis to final he...

Have a real increase in precocious and advanced puberty with COVID19? Retrospective observational analytical study in which we compared the incidence of first consultations made by early thelarchies between the months of March to December 2019 and between March and December 2020 at the Pediatric Endocrinology(PE)consultation in our hospital, and the increase in diagnosis of precocious puberty (PP)and advanced puberty (PA) in the cases evaluated for this reason, with the aim of...

NASH is an increasingly relevant finding in the pediatric population affected by obesity. In adults, its evolution from this steatosis to fibrosis and its correlation with metabolic syndrome is increasingly significant. The existence of a rapid and validated screening tool in consultation would be very useful.Main objective: To evaluate if the measurement of intraperitoneal fat measured through nutritional ultrasound, allows the diagnosi...

Objective: Observe in children born SGA the relationship that the different variables have in the evolution towards metabolic syndrome, adrenarche and/or early/advanced pubarche or short stature and treatment with GH.Material and Methods:A retrospective observational study analyzing in SGA children at birth (n=103) and who are currently between 7-9 years of age, variables such as: sex; “Catch UP&r...

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic brought with it a state of alarm as of March 14, 2020, which implied a restriction on the mobility of the general population and home confinement. One of the main concerns raised by isolation was the substantial reduction in energy expenditure due to children spending more time sitting or participating in activities that involve very low rates of energy expenditure, such as watching television, managing the different networks social ...

Background: Several pharmaceutical formulations marketed GHRH, were being restricted in their choice occasions. Three display groups: single-dose, pre-filled pens/vials and electronic devices, self-injection systems. The choice may contribute to a greater or lesser adherence and a difference in the final cost of treatment (drug loss), attributable to the device itself or presentation. Presentations that require reconstitution device load, partial doses or stop in Pen contribut...

Background: Currently there are three distinct groups of GH devices: single dose (JM), preloaded pen/vial (VM) systems and electronic devices (DE) autoinjector systems. The choice could determine a greater or lesser adherence and thus influence the final treatment efficacy.Objective: Comparison of the therapeutic efficacy as measured by growth rate (VC), IGF1 as a function of various clinical variables, indicating GH and device used.<p class="abstext...

After the evident socio-health transformation when facing intersexualities / entities with different sexual development (DSD), we wonder if clinical-care assistance has improved. Material and method Descriptive multicenter study by means of a retrospective review (2006-2019) of patients with a diagnosis of DSD in pediatric age. Interdisciplinary assessment through satisfaction surveys to families / patients.Results: 67 patients were included. 27% were op...
