The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism has published a study regarding the analyzing of the epidemiological, clinical, biochemical, and therapeutic data from the Mexican Acromegaly Registry. A total of 2057 patients (51% female, mean age at diagnosis 41.1 ± 24.5 y) have been registered for an estimated prevalence of 18 cases per 1 million inhabitants. The MAR is the largest and first non-European registry of the disease. The findings highlight important within-country differences in treatment choice due to variations in the availability of resources. The full-text article is available here.
