Prevalence of growth hormone (GH) deficiency (GHD) caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) is highly variable. Short–term studies show improvement in quality of life (QoL) during GH replacement (GHR), but long-term data are lacking. This study aimed to analyse the clinical characteristics of post traumatic hypopituitarism and the QoL effects of long-term GHR. Design/Methods: KIMS (Pfizer International Metabolic Database) patients with GHD caused by TBI and by non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) were compared regarding: clinical characteristics at baseline and 1-year of GHR, and QoL response up to 8-years of GHR (QoL-AGHDA total scores and dimensions) in relation to country-specific norms. Results: TBI patients compared to NFPA patients:...
