摘要: Aim: To assess the effects of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment in children with Prader–Willi syndrome. Design: A 1-year study and an observational follow-up visit 10 years later. Methods: In 20 patients syndrome (PWS): clinical assessment, laboratory tests, body composition analysis by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, sleep polygraphy, health-related quality life assessed 16D. Results: Only two had normal secretion at baseline. All were significantly shorter than their expected heights, but experienced catch-up during treatment. At follow-up, 13 reached adult heights markedly taller historical controls. The cumulative dose rhGH over correlated inversely total fat percentage (p = 0.033). However, remained severely obese 10 years. Sleep polygraphy was abnormal more half patients. Health-related substantially below that population. Conclusion: Growth improved height subjects PWS when compared to data. reduction fat; nevertheless, obese.
