A Questionnaire Based Study on the Knowledge and Practice of Stress Steroid Dosing Protocol among Patients with Adrenal Insufficiency at a Tertiary Care Hospital in India
There were lacunae in the knowledge about AC, CRT and stress dosing of glucocorticoids, and self-care among a significant number of patients with AI despite prior patient education. Hence, it is pertinent to reassess the knowledge, educate and reinforce good practices at multiple follow up visits to prevent AC and improve quality of life in individuals with AI.
