    Abstract Most children with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NC-CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency are asymptomatic and do not require cortisol replacement therapy unless they develop symptoms of hyperandrogenemia. The current practice is to treat symptomatic children with hydrocortisone aimed at suppressing excess adrenal androgen production irrespective of the child's level of endogenous cortisol production. Once on hydrocortisone therapy, even children with normal cortisol production require stress dosing. Some children with NC-CAH may present with premature adrenarche, growth acceleration, and advanced bone age, but with no signs of genital virilization and normal endogenous cortisol production. In these cases, an alternative therapy to hydrocortisone treatment that does not impact the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, but targets increased estrogen production and its effects on bone maturation, could be considered. Aromatase inhibitors (AIs), which block the aromatization of androgen to estrogen, have been used off-label in men with short stature to delay bone maturation and as an adjunct therapy in children with classic CAH. The use of AI as a monotherapy for children with NC-CAH has never been reported. We present three pre-pubertal female children with a diagnosis of NC-CAH treated with anastrozole monotherapy after presenting with advanced bone age, early adrenarche, no signs of genital virilization, and normal peak cortisol in response to ACTH stimulation testing. Bone age z-scores normalized, and all three reached or exceeded their target heights. Monotherapy with anastrozole can be an effective alternative in slowing down bone maturation and improving height outcomes in children with NC-CAH and normal adrenal cortisol production.

    Abstract Background: Dysfunction in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis has been associated with depressive and anxiety disorders. Little is known about the risk for these disorders among individuals with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a form of primary adrenal insufficiency.
    Objective: We investigated the prevalence of depressive and anxiety disorders and antidepressant prescriptions in two large healthcare databases of insured children, adolescents, and young adults with CAH in the United States.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using administrative data from October 2015 through December 2019 for individuals aged 4-25 years enrolled in employer-sponsored or Medicaid health plans.
    Results: Adjusting for age, the prevalence of depressive disorders [adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) = 1.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.4-2.0, p<0.001], anxiety disorders [aPR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.4-1.9, p<0.001], and filled antidepressant prescriptions [aPR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.4-2.0, p<0.001] was higher among privately insured youth with CAH as compared to their non-CAH peers. Prevalence estimates were also higher among publicly insured youth with CAH for depressive disorders [aPR = 2.3, 95% CI: 1.9-2.9, p<0.001], anxiety disorders [aPR = 2.0, 95% CI: 1.6-2.5, p<0.001], and filled antidepressant prescriptions [aPR = 2.5, 95% CI: 1.9-3.1, p<0.001] as compared to their non-CAH peers.
    Conclusions: The elevated prevalence of depressive and anxiety disorders and antidepressant prescriptions among youth with CAH suggests that screening for symptoms of depression and anxiety among this population might be warranted.

    Abstract Background: Little is known regarding risk for co-occurring mental health conditions among pediatric patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The objective of the current study was to investigate the prevalence of medically managed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in 2 large administrative samples of insured children and adolescents with and without CAH in the United States.
    Methods: We assessed the prevalence of CAH and of medically managed ADHD using algorithms defined from diagnosis codes and filled prescriptions data using the IBM MarketScan Commercial and Multi-State Medicaid claims databases. We evaluated subjects who were continuously enrolled for ≥ 12 months with a first claim during October 2015 through December 2017 when they were 5 to 18 years old.
    Results: The administrative prevalence of CAH in the Commercial (N = 3 685 127) and Medicaid (N = 3 434 472) samples was 10.1 per 100 000 (n = 372) and 7.2 per 100 000 (n = 247), respectively. The prevalence of medically managed ADHD in the non-CAH population was 8.4% in the Commercial sample and 15.1% in the Medicaid sample. Among children with CAH, there was no increased prevalence of ADHD in the Commercial (9.2%, prevalence ratio [PR] = 1.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82-1.54;
    Conclusions: Using 2 large samples of insured children and adolescents in the United States, we found similar prevalence of medically managed ADHD among those with CAH and the general population. Future research to assess the validity of our claims algorithm for identifying pediatric CAH cases is warranted.

    Abstract A specific model for drug absorption is necessarily assumed in pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses following extravascular dosing. Unfortunately, an inappropriate absorption model may force other model parameters to be poorly estimated. An added complexity arises in population PK analyses when different individuals appear to have different absorption patterns. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that a deep neural network (DNN) can be used to prescreen data and assign an individualized absorption model consistent with either a first-order, Erlang, or split-peak process. Ten thousand profiles were simulated for each of the three aforementioned shapes and used for training the DNN algorithm with a 30% hold-out validation set. During the training phase, a 99.7% accuracy was attained, with 99.4% accuracy during in the validation process. In testing the algorithm classification performance with external patient data, a 93.7% accuracy was reached. This algorithm was developed to prescreen individual data and assign a particular absorption model prior to a population PK analysis. We envision it being used as an efficient prescreening tool in other situations that involve a model component that appears to be variable across subjects. It has the potential to reduce the time needed to perform a manual visual assignment and eliminate inter-assessor variability and bias in assigning a sub-model.

    Abstract Objective: To compare pediatric overweight and obesity prevalence among non-Hispanic white, Mexican American, and non-Hispanic black US youths before and after adjusting body mass index (BMI) for pubertal status, as assessed by Tanner stage.
    Study design: We analyzed cross-sectional anthropometric and pubertal data from non-Hispanic white, Mexican American, and non-Hispanic black youths in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III. We developed specialized Tanner stage and chronological age-adjusted models to establish Tanner-stage adjusted BMI z-scores, which were then used to determine adjusted overweight/obesity prevalence. We compared pediatric overweight/obesity prevalence before and after pubertal status adjustment.
    Results: Among 3206 youths aged 8-18 years (50% male; 26% non-Hispanic white, 35% Mexican American, 39% non-Hispanic black), adjusting BMI for Tanner stage significantly reduced overweight (males, from 29% to 21%; females, from 29% to 17%) and obesity (males, from 14% to 7%; females, from 11% to 5%) prevalence across all races/ethnicities. The obesity prevalence reduction was more pronounced in Mexican Americans (males, 11% reduction; females, 9% reduction) and non-Hispanic blacks (males and females, 10% reduction) compared with non-Hispanic whites (males, 6% reduction; females, 5% reduction). Similar patterns were seen in overweight prevalence.
    Conclusions: Adjusting for pubertal status reduced the prevalence of overweight/obesity in non-Hispanic white, Mexican American, and non-Hispanic black youth. This suggests that adjusting for puberty incorporates changes otherwise not captured when only considering the age of a child. Adjusting BMI for pubertal status may be important when interpreting a youth's weight status and consideration for obesity management, as well as when interpreting pediatric overweight/obesity prevalence data.

    Abstract The most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD), which in the classic (severe) form occurs in roughly 1:16 000 newborns worldwide. Lifelong treatment consists of replacing cortisol and aldosterone deficiencies, and supraphysiological dosing schedules are typically employed to simultaneously attenuate production of adrenal-derived androgens. Glucocorticoid titration in 21OHD is challenging as it must balance the consequences of androgen excess vs those from chronic high glucocorticoid exposure, which are further complicated by interindividual variability in cortisol kinetics and glucocorticoid sensitivity. Clinical assessment and biochemical parameters are both used to guide therapy, but the specific purpose and goals of each biomarker vary with age and clinical context. Here we review the approach to medication titration for children and adults with classic 21OHD, with an emphasis on how to interpret adrenal biomarker values in guiding this process. In parallel, we illustrate how an understanding of the pathophysiologic and pharmacologic principles can be used to avoid and to correct complications of this disease and consequences of its management using existing treatment options.

    Abstract Introduction: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) created separate growth charts for girls and boys because growth patterns and rates differ between sexes. However, scenarios exist in which this dichotomizing "girls versus boys" approach may not be ideal, including the care of non-binary youth or transgender youth undergoing transitions consistent with their gender identity. There is therefore a need for growth charts that age smooth differences in pubertal timing between sexes to determine how youth are growing as "children" versus "girls or boys" (e.g., age- and sex-neutral, compared to age- and sex-specific, growth charts).
    Methods: Employing similar statistical techniques and datasets used to create the CDC 2000 growth charts, we developed age-adjusted, sex non-specific growth charts for height, weight, and body mass index (BMI), and z-score calculators for these parameters. Specifically, these were created using anthropometric data from five US cross-sectional studies including National Health Examination Surveys II-III and National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys I-III. To illustrate contemporary clinical practice, we overlaid our charts on CDC 2000 girls and boys growth charts.
    Results: 39,119 youth 2-20 years old (49.5% female; 66.7% non-Hispanic White; 21.7% non-Hispanic Black) were included in the development of our growth charts, reference ranges, and z-score calculators. Respective curves were largely superimposable through around 10 years of age after which, coinciding with pubertal onset timing, differences became more apparent.
    Discussion: We conclude that age-adjusted, sex non-specific growth charts may be used in clinical situations such as transgender youth in which standard "girls versus boys" growth charts are not ideal. Until longitudinal auxological data are available in these populations, our growth charts may help to assess a transgender youth's growth trajectory and weight classification, and expectations surrounding these.
