Survivors of sellar/suprasellar tumors involving hypothalamic structures face a risk of impaired quality of life, including tumor- and/or treatment-related hypothalamic obesity (TTR-HO) defined as abnormal weight gain resulting in severe persistent obesity due to physical, tumor- and/or treatment related damage of the hypothalamus. We analyze German claims data to better understand treatment pathways for patients living TTR-HO during the two years following the index surgical treatment. A database algorithm identified patients with TTR-HO in a representative German payer claims database between 2010 and 2021 (n = 5.42 million patients). Claims from 37 patients with TTR-HO were analyzed on a quarterly basis over 2 years. The analysis considered inpatient, outpatient, and prescription data. In the follow-up period, patients with TTR-HO are hospitalized 3.68 times on average; 37% of hospitalizations in year 1 and 31% in year 2 are due to TTR-HO. On average, patients see a general practitioner 12.27 times and various specialists 20.45 times. The need for complex neuroendocrine therapy develops quickly, with most patients having 2-3 neuroendocrine prescriptions in any given quarter. The management of patients with TTR-HO requires frequent inpatient and outpatient visits for tumor follow-up and management of incident comorbidities, and most patients with TTR-HO require intense polytherapy.
