Official title
If Adrenal Incidentalomas Have the Influences to Occur and Progress in Patients With Stroke
Overview
Adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) are commonly encountered in transsection imaging which purpose not for suspected adrenal disease. However, part of AIs in patients is associated with Stroke. Stroke is a diseases which could cause of disability and death worldwide. In clinical practice, detailed information about the association between stroke and AIs is not available. In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the risk for disability and death in the large group of stroke patients with AIs.
Detailed description
Background:
Adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) are commonly encountered in transsection imaging which purpose not for suspected adrenal disease. However, part of AIs in patients is associated with Stroke . The investigators aimed to investigate the risk for disability and death in the large group of stroke patients with AIs.
Objective:
To measure the association between stroke and levels of autonomous cortisol secretion in patients with AIs.
Design:
Part 1, Retrospective cohort study.
From April 1, 2021, to September 30, 2021, cohort patients with stroke were recruited in this study. The investigators assess the standardised incidence rate of AIs in all patients. Meanwhile, detail information about stroke disease、patient and AIs characteristics were record.
Part 2, Prospective cohort study.
From Mar 1, 2022, to Feb 29, 2024, cohort patients with stroke plane to recruit in this study. All patient receive the plasma cortisol level after a 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test. The investigators assess the standardised incidence rate of AIs in all patients. Meanwhile, detail information about stroke disease、patient and AIs characteristics would be record.
Primary outcome measures
- Incidence rate of Adrenal incidentalomas [Time frame: 5 years]
- Plasma cortisol level [Time frame: 5 years]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Diameter of Adrenal incidentalomas [Time frame: 5 years]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- stroke disease , such as Cerebral infarction、Intracerebral hemorrhage and Subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Exclusion criteria

- use of inhaled steroids or medication affecting dexamethasone metabolism;
- systemic estrogen treatment.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
