Decreased quality of life (QoL) in hypopituitary patients: involvement of glucocorticoid replacement and radiation therapy
2018
Purpose
Hypopituitary patients are assumed to have decreased QoL due to GHD. However, in placebo controlled trials, the effects of GH replacement are no different from placebo. Hydrocortisone dose > 20 mg/day and pituitary radiation are independently associated with poorer QoL. We assessed QoL in panhypopituitary GH- deficient patients never treated with GH.
