Description
Ying Qiu and co-authors present a 2024 study of adrenal crisis in patients whose adrenal glands were suppressed by long-term steroid treatment. The crisis is a sudden, dangerous flare of that suppression and raises the risk of death in hospital. The team set out to describe who suffers it and what predicts it.
Of 371 patients treated over ten years at one hospital, 51 had a crisis during their stay, and they died at clearly higher rates than the rest. Infection, mental symptoms, low sodium and albumin, and two ratios drawn from blood counts stood out as independent risk factors. A simple logistic model predicted crisis best among the machine learning models tried.
