Prediction of remission and recurrence of Cushing's disease following transsphenoidal surgery (TSS): a single center, 20-year, retrospective series.
Purpose: Cushing's disease (CD) is a rare condition with variable surgical outcomes. This study aimed to assess remission and recurrence rates in CD patients undergoing transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) at a major Israeli referral center, and to identify predictive factors for these outcomes. We hypothesized that microadenomas would have higher remission rates than macroadenomas.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included 97 CD patients who underwent TSS at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (2002-2022). Remission was defined by biochemical criteria and clinical improvement. Suspected recurrence was confirmed by pathological dexamethasone suppression and/or elevated urinary free cortisol. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified predictors of remission, while Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazard modeling determined factors associated with recurrence.
Results: The overall remission rate was 63.9%, with no significant difference between microadenomas (58.7%) and macroadenomas (73.5%), a finding confirmed in a sensitivity analysis limited to cases with pathologically confirmed adenomas. Multivariate logistic regression showed predictors of remission were adenoma presence in pathology specimens (OR = 31.25, P < 0.001) and first-time surgery status (OR = 9.42, P = 0.002), while younger age was a contributory factor (OR = 0.963, P = 0.05). The relapse rate was 22.6% over a median follow-up of 63 [IQR 35-109.5] months. Glucocorticoid withdrawal syndrome emerged as a novel protective factor against recurrence (P = 0.045).
Conclusions: This largest analysis of TSS outcomes for CD in Israel challenges established notions about remission predictors, including our initial hypothesis about microadenomas. The identification of glucocorticoid withdrawal syndrome as a predictor of long-term remission provides a potential avenue for post-operative monitoring in the local healthcare context.
期刊介绍:
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
