To Assess the Level of Adherence of Subjects Receiving SAIZEN® Via Easypod™ in Australia

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is an Australian, Multicentre, Observational Registry to study Adherence and Long Term Outcomes of Therapy in paediatric subjects using easypod™ electromechanical device for growth hormone treatment to assess the level of adherence of subject receiving SAIZEN® via easypod™.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Subjects will be enrolled in a multicenter longitudinal observational registry. Parents/subjects will provide their Informed Consent/assent to upload their data for populationbased analyses and optionally to adhere to a patient adherence support program designed to improve their adherence and, ultimately, clinical outcomes. Adherence data will be primarily derived from the easypod™ device combined with physician data entry of outcome measures. Data will be collected retrospectively and prospectively. This will allow the establishment of adherence profiles and explore the hypothesis that patient adherence support programs improve adherence and subsequent clinical outcomes. Collected data will be also analyzed in a multinational pooled analysis of comparable national studies. Primary Objective: • To assess the level of adherence of subjects receiving SAIZEN® via easypod™ Secondary Objectives: To describe the impact of adherence on clinical outcomes for subject receiving SAIZEN® via easypod™ To identify adherence subject profiling based on age, gender, self injection or not, time on treatment, medical history at time of enrollment To assess the impact of adherence on Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1) (above, below or within normal ranges)
