Is GH dosing optimal in female patients with adult-onset GH deficiency? An analysis from the NordiNet® International Outcome Study
2017
SummaryObjective To evaluate gender differences in GH dosing, IGF-I and cardiovascular risk markers in adults with GH deficiency (GHD). Design NordiNet® International Outcome Study (NCT00960128), a noninterventional, multicentre study, evaluates the long-term effectiveness and safety of Norditropin® (Novo Nordisk A/S) in the real-life clinical setting. Patients Nondiabetic patients (n = 252; 41·7% female) with adult-onset GHD (age ≥20 years at GH start), ≥4 years’ GH therapy and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) data at baseline and 4 years. Measurements Effects of gender (adjusted for baseline age and body mass index [BMI], average GH dose, treatment duration and concomitant medication) on …

SummaryObjective To assess the effect of 4 years’ growth hormone (GH) replacement on glucose homeostasis and evaluate factors affecting glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in adults with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Design NordiNet® International Outcome Study, a noninterventional study, monitors long-term effectiveness and safety of GH replacement [Norditropin® (somatropin), Novo Nordisk A/S] in real-life clinical practice. Patients Nondiabetic patients (n = 245) with adult-onset GHD (age ≥20 years at GH start), ≥4 years’ GH replacement and HbA1c values at baseline and 4 years were included in the analysis. Measurements Changes from baseline (∆) to 4 years in HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose…
Growth hormone replacement in adults:Real-world data from two large studies in US and Europe
2020
Objective: This report describes the effectiveness and safety of growth hormone replacement in 3180 adult patients with growth hormone deficiency followed-up for 0.0–12.2 years in two completed, complementary, non-interventional, multicentre studies, NordiNet® International Outcome Study (IOS) (NCT00960128) and the American Norditropin® Studies: Web-Enabled Research (ANSWER) Program (NCT01009905). Design: In both studies, Norditropin® (somatropin; Novo Nordisk A/S, Denmark) was administered at the discretion of the treating physician and according to routine practice. We present data on baseline characteristics, growth hormone dose, safety data and change from baseline in waist circumferenc…
