Introduction: Recently, it has been suggested that hypopituitarism developed after the brain injury has implications in the final recovery of the patients. We hypothesize that hypopituitarism developed in the course of traumatic brain injury (TBI) or non-TBI is related to worse functional outcome. The aim was to assess the association between hypopituitarism in the early recovery phase and long-term functional outcome.Materials and methods: We included 1...
