  At least 6 months and up to 5 years

• Subject adherence profile based on age, gender, indication, self-injection or not, time on treatment

  At least 6 months and up to 5 years

• Impact of patient adherence support programme on adherence and outcomes for subjects using easypod™

  At least 6 months and up to 5 years

Eligibility Criteria

Study Population

Paediatric subjects (aged 2-18) who are taking SAIZEN® for registered indications using the easypod™ electromechanical device.

You may qualify if:

• Administered growth hormone via the easypod™ electromechanical device according to Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)
• Over the age of \>2 years
• Under \<18 years of age, or over 18 without fusion of growth plates
• Parent's or guardian's written informed consent, given before entering data into the registry, with the understanding that the subject or parent/guardian may withdraw consent at any time without prejudice to future medical care. If the child is old enough to read and write, a separate assent form will be given as defined in the appropriate jurisdiction of each country.

You may not qualify if:

• Subjects taking growth hormone in whom growth plates have fused (i.e. for taking growth hormone for it's metabolic effects)
• Contra-indications to SAIZEN® as defined in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)
• Use of an investigational drug or participation in an interventional clinical study
