Dataset description
We conducted a population-based, record-linkage, open-cohort study to quantify dose-related risks of adrenal insufficiency, Cushing’s syndrome and death in adults with six chronic inflammatory diseases commonly treated with oral glucocorticoids. We found high glucocorticoid dose-dependent increased risks of adrenal dysfunction and death but low absolute risks, indicating potential under-diagnosis in primary care and the need to increase physician and patient awareness and education about the risks of adrenal dysfunction induced by glucocorticoids.
