ABSTRACT
Objective@#The study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors for endocrine disorders in childhood brain tumour survivors.@*Methodology@#124 childhood brain tumour survivors aged 18 years old or younger with either stable disease or in remission, and had survived for at least 2 years after diagnosis were included in the study. Demographic data (age at diagnosis, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status), clinical clues for endocrine disorders, anthropometrics (weight, height, midparental height), pubertal staging, tumour-related characteristics, treatment modalities and endocrine laboratory measurements at diagnosis and during follow up were obtained. Logistic regression was applied to evaluate risk factors for endocrine disorders in childhood brain tumour survivors.@*Results@#The prevalence of endocrine disorders in childhood brain tumour survivors was 62.1%. The risk factors were high BMI [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.29, 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.5], high-risk site [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 7.15, 95% CI: 1.41 to 36.3] and chemotherapy [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.18 , 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.62].@*Conclusion@#The prevalence of endocrine disorders in childhood brain tumour survivors in our centre was 62.1%. The significant risk factors were high BMI, tumour location (suprasellar and intrasellar) and chemotherapy.
