Cohorte prospectiva suiza de personas transgénero y de género diverso: el estudio SPECTRA (SPECTRA)

26 de junio de 2026 actualizado por: Bettina Winzeler, University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland

El objetivo de este estudio observacional es comprender los factores que influyen en el bienestar y la salud de personas transgénero y de género diverso (TGD) que se someten a terapias de afirmación de género en Suiza. La población de estudio incluye personas con TGD de 16 años o más, en diversas etapas de su transición médica, incluidos aquellos que han interrumpido o abandonado la transición.

La pregunta principal es:

¿Cuáles son los factores clave que influyen en el bienestar y los resultados de salud de las personas transgénero y de género diverso que se someten a terapias de afirmación de género?

Los investigadores compararán los resultados de salud entre diferentes subgrupos, como aquellos en diferentes etapas de transición o detransición, para examinar los efectos de las terapias de afirmación de género.

Los participantes:

Complete cuestionarios electrónicos que evalúen la congruencia de género, la calidad de vida, la salud mental y otros resultados.

Proporcione muestras biológicas (p. ej., sangre, orina, heces e hisopos de piel) para análisis de laboratorio.

Someterse a evaluaciones clínicas relacionadas con endocrinología, fertilidad, dermatología y urología como parte de su seguimiento de rutina.

Cohortes e Intervenciones

Grupo / Cohorte
Intervención / Tratamiento
Group A: Cohort of Transgender and Gender Diverse individuals in Switzerland
Individuals who present before they start GAHT are included in group A
Otro: Group A (start of GAHT)
The study program consists of assessments at baseline (before the start of GAHT) and subsequent follow-up visits scheduled at routine intervals which are typically every three months for the first year, every six months for the second year and every twelve months thereafter. Participants' data collection includes a mix of digital and in-person methods. Demographical information, clinical and laboratory parameters such as hormone levels which are part of standard clinical care
Group B: Cohort of Transgender and Gender Diverse individuals in Switzerland
Individuals who are already on GAHT are included in group B
Otro: Group B (on-going GAHT)
The study program consists of a yearly assessment as part of the long-term routine follow-up. Participants' data collection includes a mix of digital and in-person methods. Demographical information, clinical and laboratory parameters such as hormone levels which are part of standard clinical care
Group C: Cohort of Transgender and Gender Diverse individuals in Switzerland
Individuals who undergo gender affirming surgery are (additionally or exclusively) included in group C
Otro: Group C (GAS)
If GAS is administered, additional assessments are performed preoperatively, and postoperatively in analogy with routine clinical visits, e.g. one week after surgery and then three, six and twelve months later (then once yearly) (e.g. type of surgery, outcome, patient' satisfaction). If participants undergo gender-affirming genital surgery, a genital swab and urine analysis (from the urine sample taken for routine testing) will additionally be performed for microbiome analyses as part of the study assessment.
