Figure 4.
Longitudinal IGF-1 SDS over time in children with suprasellar LGG presenting with DS. Legend shows patients in correspondence with Table 2 and Figure 2. (A) IGF-1 SDS values over time in all patients. x-axis: age in years at time of measurement, y-axis: IGF-1 SDS corrected for age and gender. (B) IGF-1 SDS values over time for patients with GH hypersecretion only (for 1 patient with GH hypersecretion, data on IGF-1 values over time were missing). (C) BMI SDS (x-axis) according to IGF-1 SDS (y-axis) in all patients. Correlation coefficient for BMI-SDS and IGF-1 SDS: −0.37 (p <0.001). Only IGF-1 values without growth hormone treatment or use of somatostatin analogues are shown.
