populationSaudi Arabia“RESULTS: A total of 166 children received rhGH therapy for GHD, 58 for SGA, and 16 for Turner syndrome. However, pursuing rhGH treatment for children born SGA requires a shared decision-making approach to balance the modest benefit of final adult height gain with the long-term metabolic effects, considering the acceptable costs on the Saudi healthcare system.”0.95saudi_context_rules_v1
populationSaudi Arabia“A Case-Control Study of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontitis in Saudi Arabian Adults. The current report assessed the association between uncontrolled T2DM and periodontal status from a sample of the Saudi Arabian adult population. RESULTS: Overall sample comprises 166 cases and 332 controls with a mean age of 37.5 years. Multivariable analysis indicated uncontrolled T2DM as an important predictor for periodontitis among Saudi Arabian adults, and they had nearly three times greater odds (OR: 2.779; 95% CI: 1.425-5.419; p=0.003) of being diagnosed with periodontitis in contrast to non-diabetics. CONCLUSION: To conclude, the current evidence from Saudi Arabia is supportive of earlier studies and an awareness of this association is warranted among all healthcare providers and patients in the region for early detection of periodontitis.”0.95saudi_context_rules_v1
