A recent report from the University of Leuven in Belgium highlights the regional and international differences in prescription patterns of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and testosterone measurements. The researchers analyzed data on testosterone testing and reimbursed doses of TRT covered by the Belgian healthcare system from 2012 to 2019. They found that the number of testosterone measurements increased by 32% during this period, while the number of doses of the only reimbursed TRT increased by 47%. These findings align with trends observed in other European countries. The research was funded by the Flanders Research Foundation and one of the authors disclosed participation in advisory boards for pharmaceutical companies. [Extracted from the article]
