Abstract

Background: The prevalence of ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY and association of serum CORTISOL with PROGNOSIS in INTENSIVE CARE UNIT patients is controversial. Some studies have shown a direct association between serum CORTISOL and bad PROGNOSIS while in other studies no such association has been made.Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the association between serum CORTISOL and PROGNOSIS of patients in INTENSIVE CARE UNIT.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study performed on INTENSIVE CARE UNIT patients of Bou-Ali teaching hospital in Qazvin (Iran) in 2009. Serum CORTISOL levels were measured before and after injection of cosyntropin. Basal CORTISOL level below 441 nmol/l was interpreted as ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY. In patients with serum CORTISOL between 441 and 938 nmol/l following injection of cosyntropin the level of serum CORTISOL was re-measured after 60 min. Patients with serum CORTISOL response less than 255 nmol/l were interpreted as having partial ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Later, patients were divided into 4 groups based on APACHE scoring system. Association of serum CORTISOL with APACHE score, hypotension, intubation, and mortality was evaluated.Findings: Of 60 patients under study, none found to have ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Serum CORTISOL was independently associated with mortality, hypotension, and intubation.Conclusion: Based on results found through this study, ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY was not common in ICU patients and serum CORTISOL could be used as a predictor of PROGNOSIS.
