To Assess the Level of Adherence of Subjects Receiving SAIZEN® Via Easypod™ in Slovakia

Easypod Connect: A National, Multicentre, Observational Registry to Study Adherence and Long Term Outcomes of Therapy in Paediatric Subjects Using Easypod™ Electromechanical Device for Growth Hormone Treatment in Slovakia

This is a Slovakian, Multicentre, Observational Study to study Adherence and Long Term Outcomes of Therapy in paediatric subjects using easypod™ electromechanical device for growth hormone treatment to assess the level of adherence of subject receiving SAIZEN® via easypod™.

Subjects will be enrolled in a multicenter longitudinal observational study. Parents/ subjects will provide their Informed Consent/assent to upload their data for population-based analyses and, ultimately, clinical outcomes. Adherence data will be primarily derived from the easypod™ device combined with physician data entry of outcome measures. Data will be collected retrospectively and prospectively. This will allow the establishment of adherence profiles and subsequent clinical outcomes. Collected data will be also analyzed in a multinational pooled analysis of comparable national studies.

Primary Objective:

• To assess the level of adherence of subjects receiving SAIZEN® via easypod™.

Secondary Objective:

• To identify adherence subject profiling
• To describe the impact of adherence on clinical outcomes for subject receiving SAIZEN® via easypod™
• To asses the impact of adherence on Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1) (i.e. above, below or within normal ranges)

Inclusion Criteria:

• Administered growth hormone via the easypod™ electromechanical device according to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)
• Over the age of >2 years
• Under <18 years of age, or over 18 without fusion of growth plates
• Parent's or guardian's written informed consent, given before entering data into the observational study, with the understanding that the subject or parent/guardian may withdraw consent at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects taking growth hormone in whom growth plates have fused (i.e. for taking growth hormone for it's metabolic effects)
• Contra-indications to SAIZEN® as defined in the SmPC
• Use of an investigational drug or participation in an interventional clinical study
