Remission in Cushing ’s disease is predicted by cortisol burden and its withdrawal following pituitary surgery

ConclusionThe study could ascertain the predictors of remission in CD. Apart from the tumor characteristics, surgical aspects and low post-operative 0800-h cortisol, the results suggest that baseline clinical parameters, longer glucocorticoid replacement, and resolution of metabolic complications post-TSS predict remission in CD. Long-term follow-up is essential to look for relapse.
