Up to 50% of children born SGA at 2 years have not made a correct catch up (by excess or defect), with repercussions on size, metabolic and cardiovascular alterations, DM, etc. The Project has developed a prospective cohort of SGA and seeks to study phenotypic, BQ and genetic differences that explain their different behavior.Material and methods: We study live births of single pregnancies in our Hospital during 2012–2014, and are classified accordin...

Background: Studies aimed at elucidating the pathophysiology of obesity consistently describe it as a highly heterogeneous disorder at both clinical and molecular level. Despite rare monogenic forms and several regions of susceptibility have been defined, the genetic causes underlying the disease remain largely unknown.Objective and hypotheses: We aimed to identify novel genetic abnormalities in a cohort of Spanish children with severe non-syndromic earl...

Objective: To assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a cohort of children and adolescents with type 1 Diabetes (T1DM) and its associated factors.Methods: This was a descriptive study of 136 patients with T1DM from five hospitals in Catalonia, Spain (72 girls, mean age 13.4 years (range 8–19). Inclusion criteria were more than 6 months from diagnosis, more than 8 years old and without cognitive problems. Sociodemographic (age, sex, family l...

Up to 50% of children born SGA to 2 years have not made a proper catch up (by excess or defect), with repercussions in size, metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, DM, etc. epiPEG-PreMeb project to study during their first two years of life.Goals:: Establish a SGAcohort for monitoring, evaluation catch-up, and analysis of medium-environmental and social factors. To study the influence of these variables on clinical, laboratory and metabolic profiles. So...

Background: The Spanish Registry PUBERE was created (2007) with 53 hospitals.Objective and hypotheses: i) To determine the chronological age (CA) and bone (BA) at GnRH analogue withdrawal; ii) to analyze the age at menarche and time elapsed after stopping treatment; and iii) to know adult height data.Method: Patients with central precocious puberty (CPP) born after 1992, diagnosed before 8 years in girls, with BA/CA >1 year and...

Background: Up to 50% SGA did not do a proper catch up (for over/under) and may have implications in size, metabolic, cardiovascular. Arises: epiSGA – PreMeb Project. Global approach to study.Objective: Create clinical cohort of SGA for monitoring, assessment catch-up, use GHRH requirements, environmental/social factors and variables influence on clinical, laboratory and metabolic profiles in order to progress in the knowledge of natural history. Pr...

Background: Although the theoretical impact of small in weight and/or size at birth (<2 SDS for EG) is 3–5% (3.5% in the Basque Country (source: Local Government) the socio-economic situation in our country has conditioned a change in its l although 50% at 2 years did not do a proper catch up (by excess or defect) with potential impact on future size and metabolic complications, cardiovascular require specific monitoring.Objective: To assess soc...

Background: Gonadal function is altered up to 25% in patients who suffered cancer in childhood. Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue (COT) is an option for preserving fertility.Aims and objective: To establish the prevalence of primary hypogonadism (PH) in children with cancer after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). To analyse the variables that predict progression to PH.Methods: Retrospective cohort study. Patients aged 0 to...

Background: SGA cohort study in analytical and metabolic variables at 3 and 12 months of age with somatométrica situation.Material and methods: Live births in singleton pregnancies in our hospital during 2012–2014, PEG were studied according EG and weight/height (Spanish Tablas 2008). Tours are conducted at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, with measurements of weight, height and perimeter. Blood samples are obtained at least fasting discussed 4h and exce...

Background: Cohort SGA in North of Spain – EPIPEG.Objective and hypotheses: Establish a SGA cohort for monitoring, assessment catch-up, and analysis of middle-environmental and social factors.Method: We study live births in singleton pregnancies in our hospital during 2012–2014, and are classified according age gestation (EG) and weight/height (Spanish growth 2008). Visits were made at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, with measurem...
