Central precocious puberty in boys: secular trend and clinical features

CONCLUSIONS: The estimated incidence of CPP in boys was 0.34 per 10 000, with 26% of cases associated with intracranial pathology. The increase in CPP incidence was driven by rising ICPP rates. Patients with OCPP were characterized by shorter stature, younger age, and higher basal testosterone levels, providing valuable cues for differentiation in addition to brain MRI. Utilizing multiple cues could guide diagnostic decision-making.PMID:38523472 | DOI:10.1093/ejendo/lvae021
