Background: Correctly identifying glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency in patients tapering prednisolone treatment to ≤5 mg daily is crucial. Pausing prednisolone before an ACTH-test is standard, yet the optimal pause duration is uncertain.Aim: To determine the outcome of an ACTH-test after 1 vs 2 days’ prednisolone pause before the test.Methods: Baseline data from an ongoing randomised clinical trial (EudraCT:20...

Objectives: The clinical impact of glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency in patients on low-dose prednisolone is unclear. We investigated the influence of adrenal function on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients tapering prednisolone.Method: Baseline data from an ongoing prospective randomised clinical trial including 278 patients with polymyalgia rheumatica/giant cell arteritis treated with prednisolone for ≥12 weeks, current ...

Introduction: Pharmacological glucocorticoid (GC) treatment may cause iatrogenic adrenal insufficiency (GIA), although the prevalence and clinical implications are debated. With 3% of the Danish population redeeming prescriptions of systemic GC annually, the number of patients at risk is potentially extensive. Taken together, there is an unmet need for a prospective and unbiased assessment of the GIA prevalence.Materials and Methods: The data for this re...
