Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18 years or older with classic CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency who were treated at Lille University Hospital and can complete questionnaires in French.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with non-classic CAH, cognitive or psychiatric conditions preventing reliable questionnaire completion, or those unable to provide informed consent may not benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This is an observational cross-sectional study of adults aged 18 and over with classic CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency who were treated at Lille. Participants will complete standardized French questionnaires about regret, quality of life, sexual function, and psychological outcomes, along with clinical history and past medical/surgical treatment. The goal is to describe how pediatric management, including early genital surgery when applicable, relates to adults’ perceptions and well-being. Data will be analyzed to identify associations between past interventions and current patient-reported outcomes. The primary outcome is the prevalence of regret related to pediatric management decisions.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, findings could inform shared decision-making and future guidelines to support patient autonomy and long-term quality of life.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work has explored patient satisfaction after pediatric CAH management, but data on long-term regret in adulthood remain limited and mixed.
