Abstract: BACKGROUND The diagnostic threshold for mild autonomous cortisol secretion using low dose, overnight, dexamethasone suppression testing is recognized widely as a serum cortisol ≥1.8 mcg/dL. The degree to which these patients require postoperative glucocorticoid replacement… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Context Data on diagnostic accuracy of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) for mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) and adrenal insufficiency (AI) are discrepant. Objective We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies assessing the… read more here.
