Pituitary Diseases in Modena Population Clinical and Epidemiological Data Register of Pituitary Patients Attending the Unit of Endocrinology of Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria of Modena (DataPit)

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting an observational, longitudinal study focused on patients with pituitary disorders who are followed at the Unit of Endocrinology of Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria of Modena. The study is designed to collect detailed clinical and epidemiological data to better understand this patient population over time. It includes both a retrospective phase and a prospective phase to capture comprehensive patient information. The study has two phases: the first phase involves retrospectively registering all patients with pituitary disorders treated at the center. The second phase prospectively enrolls patients attending the Unit of Endocrinology to gather ongoing data. Patients' personal information, details about their pituitary disease, symptoms, physical exams, imaging results, visual field data, and treatments including surgeries, hormone tests, and therapies will be collected and stored in an anonymized database. Participants will be involved through data collection from their medical records and ongoing clinical visits. Researchers will assess various clinical measures such as radiological imaging, hormone levels, and therapy management. The main outcome is to characterize pituitary patients over a 10-year period, along with studying their management. The study is expected to continue monitoring patients throughout this time frame to gain insights into pituitary disease progression and treatment.
