summary/abstract:Long-term treatment with glucocorticoids (GCs) has a well-established effect on ambulation, prevention of scoliosis and preserved respiratory function in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). However, as a new generation of GC treated DMD boys grow up to become young adults, long-term side effects of this treatment need to be addressed. A nationwide longitudinal study of paediatric DMD patients in Norway was set up to assess genotype/phenotype correlations; growth; puberty; bone health and quality of life.
