ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) Measure of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) of the Lumbar SpineChange in bone mineral density and body composition from baseline to 24 months
Change in height adjusted areal BMD Z-score of the lumbar spine from baseline to 24 months within groups. BMI Z-score, calcium intake, vitamin D intake and physical activity were included in the analysis. As DXA BMD Z-scores already include race, age, and sex, these variables were not included in the analysis. Z-scores ranging between -2.0 and 2.0 are considered normal. A Z-score \<-2.0 is considered low. This analysis considers change in Z-score, therefore a high value reflects a greater increase in BMD Z-score.
SecondaryChange in Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) Measure of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the Whole Body Less Head, Total Hip, and Femoral Neckbaseline to 24 months
To assess changes in bone mineral density DXA height adjusted BMD Z-scores of the whole body less head, total hip and femoral neck were measured. BMI, calcium intake, vitamin D intake and physical activity were included in the analysis. As DXA BMD Z-scores already include race, age, and sex, these variables were not included in the analysis. Z-scores ranging between -2.0 and 2.0 are considered normal. A Z-score \<-2.0 is considered low. This analysis considers change in Z-score, therefore a high value reflects a greater increase in BMD Z-score.
SecondaryChange in Volumetric Bone Mineral Density (vBMD) at the Distal Radius as Measured by Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT)Change from baseline to 24 months
To assess the appendicular (peripheral) skeleton, pQCT (Stratec XCT 2000, Orthometrix, Inc., White Plains, NY) bone measures were obtained of the non-dominant radius at the 3% and 66% sites. Measurements were acquired with a voxel size of 0.4 mm, slice thickness of 2.3 mm, and scan speed of 25 mm/sec, and analyzed with manufacturer software version 6.
SecondaryAnthropometricsBaseline and 24 months
The mean BMI in kg/m\^2 is presented for each study group at baseline and at the 24 months follow up visit to show that there was no significant difference between groups nor a significant change in BMI over the duration of the study.
SecondaryChange in Lean Mass as Measured by DXA Body CompositionChange in lean mass from baseline to 24 monthsLean mass was obtained from the whole body DXA scan. Change in baseline to 24 months was assessed.
SecondaryChange in Symptoms of Anxiety as Measured by Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED)Change from SCARED score baseline to 24 months
A 41 item self-report tool to assess for anxiety where each question receives a score of either 0, 1 or 2. Range of scores is 0 to 82. A total score of ≥ 25 may indicate the presence of an Anxiety Disorder. A higher score indicates there are more endorsed symptoms of anxiety.
SecondaryChange in Symptoms of Depression as Measured by Child Depression Inventory-II (CDI-II)Change from CDI-II score from baseline to 24 months
A brief self-report test that helps assess cognitive, affective and behavioral signs of depression in children and adolescents 7 to 17 years old. Scales include Emotional and Functional Problems, along with subscales of Negative mood/Physical symptoms, Negative Self-Esteem, Interpersonal Problems, and Ineffectiveness. The total score is converted into a T-score (mean=50, standard deviation=10) where a result \>64 is considered elevated. A higher score indicates there are more endorsed symptoms of depression.
SecondaryChange in Memory as Assessed by the Children and Adolescent Memory Profile (CHAMP) Total Memory Index ScoreChange from score from baseline to 24 months
The ChAMP is a norm-referenced test of memory and learning that was designed for use with children, adolescents, and young adults ranging from 5 through 21 years. The ChAMP includes 4 Subtests of visual and verbal memory to generate a total memory index score as a measure of overall memory. The total memory index score ranges from 50-150 with a mean=100 and standard deviation=15. Higher scores indicating better memory. The data presented here is the change in the total memory index score from baseline visit to the 24 month follow up time.
SecondaryChange in Quality of Life as Assessed by the Child Health Questionnaire-Child Self-Report Form (CHQ-CF87)Change from baseline to 24 months
The CHQ-87 is an 87-item self-report survey is designed to measure the physical and psychosocial health of adolescents. The total score ranges from 0-100. Higher scores indicate better quality of life. This instrument is reliable and valid for evaluating aspects of health pertinent across age, gender, health condition, and socioeconomic status in adolescents.
SecondaryCompliance With Transdermal Estrogen PatchPatch Calendars were collected at 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months. Data presented is through study completion.
Participants with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) were prescribed weekly transdermal estrogen (TDE2) patches and asked to log on a patch calendar when they changed the patch. Patch calendars were reviewed for compliance and weeks where at least one patch was applied were considered to be in compliance. Weeks in compliance generated the numerator whereas total weeks of participation in the study constituted the numerator.
