- Early diagnosis of Diabetes insipidus (DI) after pituitary surgery is crucial to prevent severe complications, and measuring copeptin may provide a reliable prediction method.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed, assessing studies that measured copeptin levels in DI patients compared to non-DI patients, with a total of 1255 participants.
- Results indicated that copeptin levels were significantly lower in DI patients and its early measurement showed moderate accuracy (0.791) in detecting post-op DI, highlighting its potential utility in clinical practice.
