Tirzepatide in Prader–Willi syndrome: a single case report
This case report describes one adult with Prader–Willi syndrome and diabetes. A single reported response cannot establish effectiveness for the wider syndrome or define routine treatment guidance.
What the source says
This case report describes one adult with Prader–Willi syndrome and diabetes. A single reported response cannot establish effectiveness for the wider syndrome or define routine treatment guidance.
Evidence and limits
The report describes one adult woman with Prader–Willi syndrome and difficult-to-control diabetes, with improvements reported after a change in treatment. Other treatment and the individual clinical setting matter. One case cannot establish comparative effectiveness or a standard treatment pathway.
What we checked
We checked the primary publication record and available abstract. The full paper and supplements have not been reviewed for this correction.
SHIFT’s take
A single unusual case can generate a research question. It cannot tell another person with Prader–Willi syndrome what treatment will work for them.
