Dexamethasone-related adrenal insufficiency in patients with brain and skull base tumours

ConclusionsDuration of dexamethasone use and total exposure predict for adrenal insufficiency in patients with brain and skull base tumours. Values derived from this study may be useful to identify patients at higher risk of adrenal suppression who require empirical hydrocortisone pending formal testing of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
