[Surgery versus conservative management for subclinical Cushing's syndrome in adrenal incidentalomas].
Zhonghua Yi Xue za Zhi [Chinese medical journal] 2017 October 32
Objective: To determine the effect of the surgical and conservative approaches on the metabolic profiles in patients with subclinical Cushing's syndrome (SCS) in adrenal incidentalomas (AI). Methods: A hundred and thirty AI patients with SCS in Department of Endocrinology, PLA General Hospital between January 2008 and December 2016 were studied, surgery was performed in 88 patients (surgical group), and the rest received conservative approach (conservative group). The improvement/worsening of blood pressure, blood glucose, lipid profiles and body weight after a duration of >18 months follow-up were analyzed, respectively. Results: Baseline demographics, clinical characteristics were similar between surgical and conservative groups. In the surgical group, blood pressure, blood glucose, lipid profiles and body weight improved more frequently than that in conservative group (29.69% vs 3.12%, P =0.003; 10.94% vs 3.12%, P =0.262; 7.81% vs 3.12%, P =0.660; 39.06% vs 9.38%, P =0.004, respectively). In conservative group, blood pressure, blood glucose, lipid profiles and body weight worsened more frequently than that in surgical group (28.13% vs 0, P <0.001; 25.0% vs 0, P <0.001; 18.75% vs 0, P =0.003; 40.62% vs 20.31%, P =0.051, respectively). Logistic regression analysis indicated surgical treatment was associated with improvement of blood pressure ( OR =10.687, 95% CI : 1.279-89.299) and weight loss ( OR =5.541, 95% CI : 1.404-21.872) independently of gender, age, duration of follow-up, serum cortisol level after 1 mg-dexamethasone suppression test and the mass size. Conclusion: In AI patients with SCS, surgery was beneficial in the aspect of metabolic profiles.
