Short Stature in Patients with Diamond-Blackfan Anemia : A Cross-Sectional Study

Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

OBJECTIVE: To systematically describe the short stature of patients with Diamond-Blackfan anemia and to explore factors affecting the height development of patients with Diamond-Blackfan anemia.

STUDY DESIGN: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, and the height, weight, and clinical data of 129 patients with Diamond-Blackfan anemia were collected from June 2020 to September 2020.

RESULTS: The median height-age-z score (HAZ) of children affected by Diamond-Blackfan anemia was -1.54 (-6.36-1.96). Short stature was found in 37.98% of the patients. Specific Diamond-Blackfan anemia growth curves were developed for weight, height, and body mass index, separately for male and female patients. Multivariable logistic regression models showed that female sex (aOR 4.92; 95% CI 1.29-18.71; P = .0195), underweight (aOR 10.41, 95% CI 1.41-76.98, P = .0217), cardiovascular malformations (aOR 216.65; 95% CI 3.29-14279.79; P = .0118), and RPL11(aOR 29.14; 95% CI 1.18-719.10; P = .0392) or RPS26 (aOR 53.49; 95% CI 1.40-2044.30; P = .0323) mutations were independent risk factors for short stature. In the subgroup of patients who were steroid-dependent, patients with a duration of steroid therapy over 2 years (OR 2.95; 95% CI 1.00-8.66; P = .0494) or maintenance dose of prednisone >0.1 mg/kg per day (OR 3.30; 95% CI 1.02-10.72; P = .0470) had a higher incidence of short stature.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with Diamond-Blackfan anemia had a high prevalence of short stature. The risk of short stature increased with age and was associated with sex, underweight, congenital malformations, and RPL11 or RPS26 mutations. The duration of steroid therapy and maintenance dose of steroid was significantly associated with the incidence of short stature in steroid-dependent patients with Diamond-Blackfan anemia.
