Pubertal Height Velocity and Associations with Prepubertal and Adult Heights in Cystic Fibrosis - 23/07/13
Abstract |
Objectives |
To test the hypothesis that pubertal peak height velocity (PHV) in cystic fibrosis (CF) has improved and is influenced by prepubertal growth and genetic potential.
Study design |
PHV from 1862 children born in 1984-87 and documented in the 1986-2008 US CF Foundation Registry was determined by statistical modeling and classified into normal, delayed (2-SD > average age), attenuated (magnitude <5th percentile), or both delayed and attenuated (D&A). Genetic potential for height was estimated by parental stature.
Results |
PHV averaged 8.4 cm/year at age 14.0 years in boys and 7.0 cm/year at age 12.1 years in girls, ∼6-month delay and ∼15% reduction compared with healthy children. PHV was normal in 60%, delayed in 9%, attenuated in 21%, and D&A in 5%. Patients with delayed PHV reached similar adult height percentile (boys: 34th, girls: 46th) to those with normal PHV (boys: 33rd, girls: 34th); both were significantly taller than the attenuated (boys: 11th, girls: 19th) and D&A PHV subgroups (boys: 8th, girls: 14th). Pancreatic-sufficient patients had taller prepubertal and adult heights but similar PHV compared with pancreatic-insufficient or meconium ileus patients. Adjusting for genetic potential reduced adult height percentiles more in boys (from 25th to 16th) than girls (from 28th to 24th). Height at age 7 years, PHV age and magnitude, and parental stature significantly predicted adult height.
Conclusions |
Pubertal PHV has improved in children with CF born after mid-1980s compared with older cohorts but remains below normal. Suboptimal prepubertal and pubertal growth led to adult height below genetic potential in CF.
