A higher prevalence of craniopharyngiomas, Rathke’s cleft cysts, and congenital central nervous system (CNS) malformations was also observed in patients with hypopituitarism; however, the overall distribution of pituitary pathologies prompting clinical evaluation did not reach statistical significance, although it approached the threshold ( p = 0.07).

Age (OR = 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01–1.09, p = 0.03), a history of neurosurgery and/or radiotherapy (OR = 2.82, 95% CI 0.86–9.19), and IGF-I SDS (OR = 2.70, 95% CI 0.55–13.19) were identified as potential positive predictors of QTc prolongation, although the latter two associations only showed a trend toward statistical significance ( p = 0.08 and 0.06, respectively).
