Relative risks of contributing factors to morbidity and mortality in adults with craniopharyngioma on GH replacement.

Conclusion: Conventional factors that increase the risks of cardio/cerebrovascular diseases and DM, and risks for developing new intra-cranial tumors contribute to the excess morbidity and mortality. Additionally, lower serum IGF-I levels measured from the last sample before death was inversely associated with mortality risk in CP patients. PMID: 29029108 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
