aWhen calculating prevalence, it was assumed that a disease attribute is not present when data are not recorded.
bOnly female patients of reproductive capacity (GL: 27; PL: 29) were eligible for impairment; all other patients were considered unimpaired. Reproductive capacity was defined as female patients who were postpubescent and premenopausal who had not undergone surgical removal of reproductive organs at the time of starting metreleptin.
cPrevalence of heart abnormality can only increase as clinical resolution of abnormalities could not be determined with available data.
dData on hyperphagia were collected for first 94 patients (GL: 62, PL: 32).
eOne patient with GL and one patient with PL each experienced a single episode of pancreatitis while on treatment with metreleptin.
