Data are n (%). TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event. The serious TEAE in the conventional therapy group were hospitalization or surgery for craniosynostosis, bilateral genu varum deformities, and hematuria. The serious TEAE in the burosumab group were craniosynostosis, a viral infection, and a migraine. Injection site reaction is a grouped term that includes injection site reaction, erythema, pruritus, rash, erosion, swelling, urticaria, discomfort, hypersensitivity, inflammation, and papule. Hypersensitivity is a grouped term that includes rash (generalized, erythematous, injection site), dermatitis allergic, drug eruption, and swelling face.
