Endocrinological complications of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and their subjective burden: observational study evaluating growth, puberty, and bone health
Vertebral fractures, short stature, and delayed puberty are very frequent among glucocorticoid-treated boys with DMD. Lateral spine radiograph is a crucial means for bone health assessment, with an even larger yield than densitometry. A questionnaire survey identifies patient needs and improves complex health care.
