Growth Hormone Deficiency Market and Epidemiology Forecast to 2024

Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is an endocrine disorder characterized by low or deficient secretion of growth hormone (GH) secondary to malfunction of the pituitary gland, a pea-sized structure located at the base of the brain that is responsible for the production of GH. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) ICD-10-CM code for GHD is E23.0.

GHD in children can be classified as idiopathic or organic, which is further divided into congenital and acquired. GH is necessary for normal growth, as it fuels childhood growth and development. In an adult's normal lifespan, GH is needed to maintain the amounts of body fat, muscle, and bone necessary for sustaining tissue and organ function. GHD acquired in adulthood is usually acquired through damage to the pituitary-hypothalamic region through trauma or tumors. This report does not cover childhood-onset GHD that progresses into adulthood.

Scope:

• The Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) EpiCast Report provides an overview of the risk factors and global trends of GHD in the 7MM (US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and Japan). It includes a 10-year epidemiological forecast for the GHD diagnosed in children (=18 years) and in adults (>18 years) segmented by sex from 2014-2024. The forecast also provides GHD diagnosed cases in children segmented by the etiological classifications (idiopathic and organic; organic further segmented into congenital and acquired). The forecast for GHD diagnosed in adults are further segmented by etiological classifications (idiopathic and acquired).

• The GHD epidemiology report is written and developed by Mastersand PhD-level epidemiologists.

• The EpiCast Report is in-depth, high quality, transparent and market-driven, providing expert analysis of disease trends in the 7MM.
