Abstract

BACKGROUND: Glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency (GIAI) is a hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction caused by long-term use of exogenous steroids. Adrenal crisis (AC) is an acute complication of GIAI and one of the reasons for the increased risk of death. This study aims to analyze the clinical characteristics of GIAI patients with AC and explore the related risk factors.
