Metabolic Risk Assessment in Prepubertal Children With Congenital Hypothyroidism

Sponsor: Buzzi Children's Hospital

Summary

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.
