Background
Hypothalamic obesity causes unrelenting weight gain for childhood brain tumor survivors. No single therapy has proven effective for treatment. We aimed to evaluate effectiveness of long‐term methylphenidate therapy on body mass index (BMI) change in children with hypothalamic obesity.
Methods
A retrospective analysis included children with a history of brain tumor and hypothalamic obesity...
Background
Outcomes for childhood brain tumors are now associated with a five‐year survival rate of 75%. Endocrine effects of brain tumors are common, occurring in 43% of patients by 10 years from tumor diagnosis. Optimal timing of screening for endocrinopathies remains undefined. We aim to identify incidence and timing of endocrinopathies following brain tumor diagnosis, to better refine screening...
Objective
Hypothalamic obesity (HyOb) is a rare cause of rapid weight gain and early metabolic comorbidities. Effective treatment strategies are limited. The registry collected participant data and compared treatment approaches.
Methods
The International Registry of Hypothalamic Obesity Disorders (IRHOD) was created as a registry portal to provide education. Data collected from the initial 4 years...
