increased cardiovascular risk and mortality&#44; decreased exercise tolerance&#44; and impaired bone mineral composition and health-related quality of life &#40;HRQoL&#41;&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">AGHD has multiple causes&#44; among which tumors are the most common&#46; Other associated pituitary hormone deficiencies are found in a majority of cases&#46; AGHD also includes cases of GHD starting in childhood that persist into adulthood&#46;</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The availability of recombinant GH &#40;rGH&#41; from 1985 led to early studies on its benefits in adulthood&#44; and showed that most manifestations of the syndrome improved with replacement therapy&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Based on these studies&#44; treatment with rGH of adults with GHD was approved by the European Medicine Agency in 1995&#44; by the US FAD in 1996&#44; and in Spain one year later&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the subsequent 20 years of use of rGH&#44; a very high number of patients have been treated&#44; and efficacy and safety data additional to those collected in pre-approval clinical trials are therefore available&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Favorable short- and mid-term effects&#44; up to the first three years of treatment&#44; on body composition&#44; lipid profile&#44; muscle strength&#44; bone mineral remodeling and density&#44; cognitive function&#44; and HRQoL have been clearly established&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> Many studies are available on the short-term benefits&#44; and there is little doubt in this regard&#46; By contrast&#44; few long-term studies with at least five years of treatment have been conducted&#46; Most data come from observational postmarketing studies&#44; mainly the Pfizer International Metabolic Database and the Hypopituitary Control and Complications Study&#44; some national registers&#44; and some series&#44; usually retrospective&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4&#8211;6</span></a></p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Long-term benefits include those related to body composition&#44; including increased lean mass and decreased fat mass as measured by DEXA&#44; which has been shown to be the best method currently available&#44; despite the fact that it does not allow for calculating the body water compartment&#46; This improved body composition results in increased muscle strength during the first five years of treatment which does not persist in some studies&#44; but may provide these patients with some protection against the general effects of decline characteristic of aging&#46; These changes are more marked in males as compared to females&#44; with similar IGF-1 levels&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As regards bone mineral density&#44; the increases reported range from 4&#37; to 10&#37; depending on the series&#44; mainly occur in trabecular bone&#44; and are more marked in males&#46; Ten-year studies continue to show this positive effect&#44; but the femoral neck appears to stabilize from the fifth year&#46; Unfortunately&#44; no randomized&#44; controlled studies are available showing fracture rate reductions in patients treated with rGH&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Improvement in HRQoL and psychological well-being was another aspect in which the treatment was considered positive&#44; given that it was approved&#46; The experience accumulated over this period suggests that the effects on HRQoL are very heterogeneous&#58; there are both patients with normal HRQoL scores at baseline who do not therefore improve&#44; and others with great initial impairments who show dramatic responses&#46; Overall&#44; it may be stated that patients with poorer baseline scores will experience the greatest improvements&#44; and that patients with GHD starting in childhood usually have normal scores&#44; and no improvement is thus achieved&#46;</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality reported in patients with GHD has been related to an unfavorable pattern in both traditional and emerging cardiovascular risk factors&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> In most studies reported&#44; treatment with rGH has a beneficial effect on most factors&#44; especially on lipid profile&#44; with reductions in both total and LDL cholesterol and improved HDL and triglyceride levels&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;8</span></a> Using the Framingham and European Cardiology Society scoring systems&#44; cardiovascular risk has been found to be reduced by up to a half after two years of treatment&#46;</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Few studies have been reported relating treatment with rGH to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality&#44; and their conclusions regarding the benefits achieved are far from being unanimous&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> Unexpectedly&#44; the four studies with the largest patient samples found no decrease in morbidity and mortality as compared to the untreated group&#46; These results have created some controversy and have been attributed to multiple reasons&#44; including study duration&#44; lack of information about other factors&#44; and even concomitant medications&#46; Despite the limitations of the available data&#44; there is currently insufficient evidence to recommend treatment with rGH based on the cardiovascular status of patients&#46;</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As regards the safety of treatment with rGH&#44; the greatest concern is its potential to increase or promote the occurrence of cancer&#46; Although there have been some reports suggesting a potential increase in some tumor types in adults treated with GH during childhood&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> most follow-up studies have not shown such an increase&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11&#44;12</span></a> but longer studies will be required to confirm this&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There has also been concern about the effect on carbohydrate metabolism&#46; Although treatment with rGH decreases visceral fat&#44; it also causes decreased insulin sensitivity in the short term&#46; Although this is not a generalized effect&#44; rGH may induce in some patient subgroups impaired blood glucose levels&#44; and even the occurrence of diabetes in a small proportion of patients&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13&#44;14</span></a> This requires special monitoring during treatment&#44; and the use of rGH is not recommended in diabetic patients&#46;</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In pharmacoeconomic terms&#44; the benefits of replacement therapy in deficient adult patients result in improvements in quality of life tests&#46; Various studies&#44; particularly those related to large long-term follow-up registers such as the Pfizer International Metabolic Database&#44; have found a positive economic evaluation related to the decreased use of healthcare system resources and the reduction in work time lost and disability in these patients&#46; These data support the value of this treatment also from the economic viewpoint&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0150"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a></p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In Spain&#44; the prescription of rGH to both children and adults has been subject to special regulation and control by regional departments of health because of its high price and potential misuse&#46; Thus&#44; the different regional authorities created advisory committees or boards of experts intended to verify that prescriptions were for the approved indications and were based on the established diagnostic criteria&#44; and to ensure monitoring of their efficacy&#46; A second control mechanism was added at national level by which the drug could only be dispensed by hospital pharmacies&#46; This surveillance by the corresponding committees was generally very well accepted by the prescribing professionals&#44;

Future challenges include a deeper understanding of its efficacy&#44; especially as regards mortality reduction&#44; long-term safety&#44; and improvements in the selection of patients who may benefit from this treatment&#46;</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Conflict of interests</span><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">None&#46;</p></span></span>"
