Prevalence of differences of sex development among pediatric endocrine care centers in Switzerland from 2000-2019
Prevalence of sex chromosome DSD was underreported due to late diagnosis. Prevalence of 46,XX congenital adrenal hyperplasia is similar to newborn screening data, suggesting good completeness of cases. For complex DSD cases, we expect complete coverage. This study provides a valuable resource for policymaking and (inter)national research on DSD.
