Status and clinical and radiological predictive factors of presurgical anterior pituitary function in pituitary adenomas. Study of 232 patients

ConclusionMore than one third of PAs candidates for surgery had APD. The male sex, diabetes, an older age, pituitary apoplexy, and larger PAs were risk factors of APD. Hence, in these patients, the hormonal study should be prioritized and the need for dynamic tests must be carefully assessed.
