Glucocorticoid Withdrawal Syndrome Following Surgical Remission of Endogenous Hypercortisolism: A Longitudinal Observational Study.

Glucocorticoid withdrawal symptoms are prevalent and persistent following surgical remission of hypercortisolism with baseline CS clinical severity predictive of postoperative GWS symptom burden. Differential changes observed in muscle function and quality of life in the early postoperative period may reflect the competing influences of GWS and recovery from hypercortisolism.
