RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the review is to explore the evidence on the behavioral and psychological mechanisms underlying the development of obesity in patients with craniopharyngioma. The review will map the available evidence, identify gaps in the literature, and find avenues of future intervention. INTRODUCTION: Craniopharyngiomas are low-grade intracranial tumors of the supersellar region. Obesity is associated with the tumor or surgery or radiotherapy to treat the tumor; however, the behavioral and psychological processes contributing to that association are not clear. This review will provide a synthesized evidence base of the relevant research. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review will consider published studies with all types of study designs, including patients with childhood- or adult-onset craniopharyngioma. Articles assessing factors that may impact eating behavior will be included based on the following categories: eating behavior, obesity, neuroimaging, endocrine response, energy expenditure, sleep, and neuropsychology. METHODS: MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO will be searched, in addition to the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, NICE evidence search, and International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN). No limits will be placed on the scope of the search. The methodology will follow a three-stage process with two independent reviewers at each stage, including an initial database search, screening of titles and abstracts of retrieved studies, full-text assessment for inclusion criteria, and hand-searching of reference lists. Data will be extracted using a standardized charting form and summarized in tables. The data will be synthesized using a narrative summary and diagrammatic map and will be based on the evidence for each of the proposed research categories.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) is increasing in childhood especially among females and South-Asians. Our objective was to report outcomes from a national cohort of children and adolescents with T2DM 1 year following diagnosis. METHODS: Clinician reported, 1-year follow-up of a cohort of children (<17 years) diagnosed with T2DM reported through the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit (BPSU) (April 2015-April 2016). RESULTS: One hundred (94%) of 106 baseline cases were available for review. Of these, five were lost to follow up and one had a revised diagnosis. Mean age at follow up was 15.3 years. Median BMI standard deviation scores (SDS) was 2.81 with a decrease of 0.13 SDS over a year. HbA1c <48 mmol/mol (UK target) was achieved in 38.8%. logHbA1c was predicted by clinician reported compliance and attendance concerns (ß = 0.12, P = <0.0001) and change in body mass index (BMI) SDS at 1-year (ß = 0.13, P=0.007). In over 50%, clinicians reported issues with compliance and attendance. Mean clinic attendance was 75%. Metformin was the most frequently used treatment at baseline (77%) and follow-up (87%). Microalbuminuria prevalence at 1-year was 16.4% compared to 4.2% at baseline and was associated with a higher HbA1c compared to those without microalbuminuria (60 vs 49 mmol/mol, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Adherence to treatment and a reduction in BMI appear key to better outcomes a year after T2DM diagnosis. Retention and clinic attendance are concerning. The prevalence of microalbuminuria has increased 4-fold in the year following diagnosis and was associated with higher HbA1c.
