GH療法を受けた患者中,側弯症あり群となし群間でのGH療法開始後1年目の身長増加の比較では,それぞれ8.59±1.92cmと10.70±2.54cmであった.側弯なし群のGH療法開始後1年目の身長は側弯あり群より有意に増加していた.したがって,統計学上では身長の加速は側弯症を悪化させていなかった. GH開始年齢と側弯症発症との関係では,側弯症なし群でGH療法開始年齢が有意に低かった(p=0.029). GH療法を受けている群で,側弯症を認めた20名のコブ角の経過は,変動なし10名,増悪6名,増悪軽快1名,軽快3名であった. PWS患者においてGH療法は身長増加をもたらすが側弯症増悪因子になっていないと考えられた., Growth hormone (GH) therapy for Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) has started worldwide and various favorable effects have been reported. But the possibility of progression of scoliosis is being new problems for GH treatment. In this study we analyzed 72 patients who are followed at our hospital (46 males and 26 females, aged from 1 year old to 49 years old, 41 patients with GH use and 31 without GH). We studied 1. The overall frequency of scoliosis in PWS, 2. The frequency of scoliosis with and without GH therapy, 3. The two factors (i.e. height velocity of the first year of GH therapy and the starting age of GH) which may be related to the progression of scoliosis, and 4. The prognosis of the scoliosis. The results are ; 1. Out of 72 patients, 33 patients (45.8%) showed scoliosis more than 10 degree of Cobb angle. 2. Out of 41 patients with GH therapy 20 patients (48.8 %) had scoliosis and out of 31 patients without GH therapy 13 patients (41.9 %) showed scoliosis. No statistical difference was detected between two groups. 3. Height velocities of the first year of treatment were 8.59±1.92 cm and 10.70±2.54 cm with and without scoliosis, respectively (p<0.001). GH therapy was started earlier in patients without scoliosis than with scoliosis (p<0.0001). 4. Out of 20 patients with scoliosis and GH use, the degree of scoliosis progressed in six patients, improved in three, and fluctuated in one during the GH treatment. Our results show that there is a high frequency of scoliosis in PWS with and without GH treatment, Increased height velocity by GH does not develop scoliosis, and early start of GH is not an exacerbating factor of scoliosis. Many patients showed progression of scoliosis with age irrespective of the use of GH and at least some patients improved their scoliosis in degree by GH., 原著, Original}, pages = {43--48}, title = {ブラダー・ウイリー症候群における成長ホルモン療法と側弯症の関係}, volume = {34}, year = {2007}, yomi = {トミタ, ユウゾウ and ムラカミ, ノブユキ and オバタ, カズオ and ヨシノ, アツノリ and タナカ, ユリコ and ツチヤ, タカヨシ and コウヅ, ユキ and サクタ, リョウイチ} }
