Background: Prolonged glucocorticoid use is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, including the development of glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency (GI-AI). There is no consensus regarding glucocorticoid weaning (<5mg prednisolone-equivalent dose) to alleviate withdrawal symptoms while promoting the quickest adrenal axis recovery. There is also limited research into understanding current practice and the barriers to weaning.<p cl...

Background: Prolonged glucocorticoid (GC) use is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, including the development of glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency (GI-AI). There is currently no consensus regarding testing or weaning of GCs prescribed for non-endocrine conditions.Aim: To assess the long-term GC weaning practice by endocrinologists in the UK and Southeast Asia.Methods: An anonymous survey was disseminate...
