dc.description.abstractObjectiveInvestigate the changes in the characteristics of presentation, in patients with acromegaly over a period of approximately half a century.MethodsThe medical records of patients diagnosed with acromegaly between 1980 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The collected data were examined to assess any changes observed over the years and a comparison was made between the characteristics of patients diagnosed in the last decade and those diagnosed in previous years.ResultsA total of 570 patients were included in the study, 210 (37%) patients were diagnosed in the last decade. Patients diagnosed before 2014 had longer symptom duration before diagnosis, advanced age, larger pituitary adenomas, higher incidence of cavernous sinus invasion, and higher GH and IGF-1 levels than those diagnosed last decade (p < 0.05, for all). Furthermore, the patients diagnosed before 2014 had a lower rate of surgical remission (p < 0.001), and a higher prevalence of comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, colon polyps, and thyroid cancer at the time of diagnosis (p < 0.05, for all).ConclusionThere may be a trend for earlier detection of patients with acromegaly.en_US
