Primary Objective: The primary objective of the study is to characterize subjects affected by adrenal disease by collecting medical history data at diagnosis, clinical, bio-humoral, and radiological data, as well as information regarding the therapeutic approach, in terms of both potential surgical interventions and/or pharmacological therapies and hormone replacement therapies.
Secondary Objective: The secondary objective is to integrate these data with current knowledge in order to improve the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic management of patients affected by adrenal disease, as well as to identify risk and/or predisposing factors for the development of the disease.
Study Design: Observational, longitudinal, single-center, non-interventional (without drug administration) study.
The study is divided into two phases:
FIRST PHASE (retrospective): registration of all patients affected by hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal disease followed by the Adrenal Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the Endocrinology Unit at the AOU of Modena.
SECOND PHASE (prospective): enrollment of all patients affected by adrenal disease consecutively presenting to the Adrenal Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the Endocrinology Unit at the AOU of Modena.
Study Population Inclusion criteria: subjects affected by adrenal disease presenting to the Adrenal Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the Endocrinology Unit at the AOU of Modena, who are able to autonomously provide written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria: subjects under 18 years of age.
Study Methodologies An anonymized database will be created to collect data from patients presenting to the aforementioned outpatient clinic. Specifically, the data collected for each patient will include: demographic data, data related to the adrenal disease, symptoms, physical examination, radiological imaging, surgical intervention data, histological examination data, bio-humoral tests, hormonal tests, DEXA data, current replacement therapies data, current anti-secretory medical therapies data, data on other current pharmacological therapies, and comorbidities data.
Inclusion: Subjects affected by adrenal disease presenting to the Adrenal Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the Endocrinology Unit at the AOU of Modena, who are able to autonomously provide written informed consent.
