Perioperative growth hormone levels as an early predictor of new-onset secondary adrenal insufficiency following transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection

CONCLUSION: Early morning GH level on POD1 can predict NOSAI with fair accuracy when perioperative stress dose glucocorticoid is administered. Prediction accuracy can be improved by considering CSF leakage, DI, and perioperative changes in GH and PRL in the final regression model.PMID:38148260 | DOI:10.1016/j.asjsur.2023.12.120
