Symptomatic glucocorticoid-induced adrenal suppression in the United Kingdom and Ireland: a BPSU study
The incidence of AS from this UK-based BPSU study is lower than a similar Canadian study. This may indicate that paediatricians in the UK and Ireland are becoming more aware of the potential for GC-induced AS and thus are more proactive to prevent its occurrence. The clinical cases still highlight the need to educate families and healthcare professionals with a view to further reducing the morbidity and potential mortality associated with GC-induced AS.
