“…Within the hypsarrhythmia population, responders (n = 9) showed higher IGF-1, IGFBP-3 levels, and IGF-1/IGFBP-3 ratios than non-responders (n = 5) before ACTH treatment (p &lt; 0.05). Post-ACTH treatment, serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels increased in all patients, with greater elevation observed in responders.ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that serum IGF-1, IGFBP-3 levels, and their ratio correlate with both hypsarrhythmia severity and short-term ACTH response in IESS patients. …”
