- Original description
We propose a multicenter prospective study to define the prevalence and severity score of metabolic syndrome in a prepubertal pediatric cohort with congenital hypothyroidism, compared to a healthy and normal-weight pediatric population. These data will help to define whether hypothyroidism can be considered a risk factor for the metabolic health of the pediatric population. The possible identification of an at-risk metabolic profile will provide useful information to optimize the diagnostic and monitoring pathway for affected children.Read full original descriptionShow less
Metabolic Risk Assessment in Prepubertal Children With Congenital Hypothyroidism (IpoMet)
We propose a multicenter prospective study to define the prevalence and severity score of metabolic syndrome in a prepubertal pediatric cohort with congenital hypothyroidism, compared to a healthy and normal-weight pediatric population. These data will help to define whether hypothyroidism can be considered a risk factor for the metabolic health of the pediatric population. The possible identification of an at-risk metabolic profile will provide useful information to optimize the diagnostic and monitoring pathway for affected children.
Inclusion: Pubertal stage Tanner 1; Permanent congenital hypothyroidism; All ethnic groups; Informed consent signature.
Exclusion: Age< 5 years; Pubertal stage Tanner 2-5; Transient congenital hypothyroidism or other type of hypothyroidism.
