Short synacthen test requests may be reduced by considering test indication and identifying a 9am cortisol value that predicts test result
Background: Short synacthen tests (SSTs) are routinely performed for the investigation of adrenal insufficiency (AI), but are costly and time consuming. The frequency of SST testing could be reduced by prioritising testing for specific indications (based on likelihood of failure of the test), and also by identification of an assay-specific 9am cortisol level that obviates the need to proceed to SST.Methods: Retrospective review...
