Brief summary

The aim of the present study was therefore two-fold: 1) to make a retrospective comparison of incidence of non-fatal stroke and cardiac events between a large cohort of patients with confirmed GHD on replacement therapy (including GH) and a control cohort from the general population; 2) to compare the prevalence of DM and cardioprotective medication between the cohorts at the time of questionnaire distribution with adjustment for possible confounders and effect modifiers.
