Article Synopsis
- Autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) from adrenal adenomas can lead to higher risks of comorbidities and mortality, and the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) is essential for its diagnosis.
- A study involving 24,259 adults found only about 7% completed a DST, with factors such as male sex and high comorbidity index linked to lower completion rates.
- To enhance detection and management of adrenal adenomas, clinical policies must be developed to encourage more patients to complete the DST.
