Acromegaly
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary objective of the protocol is to define percentage of patients with acromegaly in relation to the total number of screened patients with confirmed clinically significant set of associated somatic disorders with the help of laboratory (Insulin-like Growth Factor I, Growth Hormone, Oral Glucose-Tolerance Test \[IGF-1, GH, OGTT\]) and instrumental examination methods (Magnetic Resonance Imaging \[MRI\]).
Interventions
This is a survey which does not involve any intervention into routine clinical practice, including the use of any investigational therapy or special examination methods.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Participants Diagnosed With Acromegaly | Participants were screened over approximately 21 months | Acromegaly is an acquired pathological condition related to excessive production of growth hormone and characterized by somatic disfigurement and multiple systemic manifestations. The percentage of participants with acromegaly was determined in participants with a confirmed clinically significant set of associated somatic disorders using biochemical assays (IGF-1, GH, OGTT) and instrumental examination methods (MRI). |

| Percentage of Participants With Microadenomas and Macroadenomas | Participants were screened over approximately 21 months | Participants were counted as having a microadenomas or macroadenomas if they had at least one microadenoma or macroadenoma during the study. Microadenoma is a benign pituitary tumour size \<=10 millimeter (mm) and macroadenoma is a benign pituitary tumour size \>10 mm. The percentage of participants with microadenomas and macroadenomas registered during pituitary MRI examination were reported. |
| Percentage of Participants With the Most Pathognomonic Subjective and Objective Signs for Tracing Acromegaly | Participants were screened over approximately 21 months | Acromegaly diagnosed based on a clinically significant set of associated somatic disorders and was assessed by logistic regression and canonical discriminant analysis. The likelihood of acromegaly diagnosis, based on a clinically significant set of associated somatic disorders (predictors) was assessed by logistic regression and canonical discriminant analysis. To investigate the extent to which each of the somatic disorders poses a risk factor for acromegaly diagnosis, all predictor variables were entered into each analysis. The percentage of participants predicted to have acromegaly or not is presented for the logistic regression analysis and the canonical discriminant analysis. |

Recruitment details
This was a non-interventional cross-sectional survey conducted at 2 clinical sites in Russia between 05 December 2013 and 15 September 2015. This survey did not involve any intervention into routine clinical practice, including the use of any investigational therapy or special examination methods.
Pre-assignment details
Adults with somatic disorders associated with acromegaly who were observed as out-patients were eligible, and 367 participants were enrolled in the survey focused on early acromegaly diagnosis. Participants previously diagnosed with acromegaly were excluded.
