The findings of this pilot study indicated that, in general, skeletal growth of the craniofacial complex as well as axial skeletal growth was not statistically significantly altered by the immunosuppressive regimen of cyclosporine over the time period evaluated. Further longitudinal data of this study's subjects may shed more light on the possible adverse effects of cyclosporine on craniofacial growth and development in spite of the fact that no untoward correlation was found over the time period studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
