Objective: We developed clinical practice guidelines for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Participants: The Task Force included a chair, selected by Endocrine Society Clinical Guidelines Subcommittee (CGS), ten additional clinicians experienced in treating CAH, methodologist, and medical writer. Additional experts were also consulted. authors received no corporate funding or remuneration. Consensus Process: was guided systematic reviews of evidence discussions. reviewed approved...

To update the congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency clinical practice guideline published by Endocrine Society in 2010. The writing committee presents updated best guidelines for management of based on evidence and expert opinion with added considerations patient safety, quality life, cost, utilization.
Hormonal reference data, in the form of nomograms relating baseline and stimulated levels adrenal hormones, provide a means genotyping steroid 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) deficiency congenital hyperplasia. Data from both 360- 60-min ACTH stimulation tests are given. The serum hormone concentrations that have proven most useful classifying 21-OH 17-hydroxyprogesterone delta 4-androstenedione. These clearly distinguish patient with classical those milder symptomatic asymptomatic nonclassical forms...
Deficits in bone acquisition during growth may increase fracture risk. Assessment of health childhood requires appropriate reference values relative to age, sex, and population ancestry identify deficits.
Context: In children, bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) measurements by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) are affected height status. No consensus exists on how to adjust BMC or BMD (BMC/BMD) for short tall stature.
This paper represents an international collaboration of paediatric endocrine and other societies (listed in the Appendix) under International Consortium Paediatric Endocrinology (ICPE) aiming to improve worldwide care adolescent girls with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)1. The manuscript examines pathophysiology guidelines for diagnosis management PCOS during adolescence. complex involves interaction genetic epigenetic changes, primary ovarian abnormalities, neuroendocrine alterations,...
Low bone mass may increase risk of fracture. Several chronic medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors affect mineral accrual. Appropriate reference values are essential for identification children with deficits.Our objective was to establish curves content (BMC) density (BMD) in children.The Bone Mineral Density Childhood Study is an ongoing longitudinal study which measurements obtained annually at five clinical centers the United States.Participants included 1554 healthy (761...
Abstract Background Diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) during adolescence is challenging because features of normal pubertal development overlap with adult diagnostic criteria. The international evidence-based PCOS Guideline aimed to promote accurate and timely diagnosis, optimise consistent care, improve health outcomes for adolescents women PCOS. Methods International healthcare professionals, evidence synthesis teams consumers informed the priorities, reviewed published data...
There are concerns that prenatal exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals increases children's risk of obesity. African-American and Hispanic children born in the Bronx or Northern Manhattan, New York (1998-2006), whose mothers underwent personal air monitoring for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) during pregnancy, were followed up ages 5 (n = 422) 7 341) years. At age years, 21% obese, as 25% those After adjustment child's sex, at measurement, ethnicity, birth weight maternal receipt...

What is the recommended assessment and management of those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), based on best available evidence, clinical expertise, consumer preference?
Approximately half of all women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are overweight or obese, and studies have reported endocrine metabolic differences between lean obese PCOS. PCOS has not been as extensively investigated in the adolescent population. The objectives our study were to further characterize early alterations adolescents determine whether nonobese present its course. We studied an ethnically heterogeneous group 48 adolescents: 11 [age, 16.1 ± 1.9 yr; body mass index (BMI),...
