APEG Research Collaborations
The following research collaborations are currently underway:
APEG TURNER SYNDROME COLLABORATION
Summary of research proposal
Brief Questionnaire on management of pubertal induction in TS DRAFT protocol forpubertal induction in TS
As discussed at the 2007 Broome APEG ASM, we wish to establish a research collaboration between APEG members regarding Turner syndrome.
The initial project which has been suggested relates to pubertal induction.
Informal discussions between APEG members (and published literature) suggests that a wide variety of approaches are currently in use. By means of a short questionnaire, it would be helpful to establish current views of APEG members in relation to pubertal induction - we appreciate your time to complete it and return to the Secretariat.
Please also see a suggested DRAFT protocol for pubertal induction using either 17beta oestradiol or transdermal oestradiol for further comment.
We would like to consider how we could use the protocol - either for use in clinical practice with prospective data collection or as the basis for an RCT. For further information and to register expressons of interest plase contact one of:
