Abstract
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (SAH) are conditions at high risk to develop hypopituitarism as pointed out by many papers in scientific literature. But most of the papers were referred to retrospective evaluations, not considering the possible evolution of the pituitary function over time. Aim of our studies was to clarify whether pituitary deficiencies and normal pituitary function recorded at short term follow-up (3 months), would improve or worsen, respectively, at long term (12 months after the brain injury). In a multicenter study protocol, in patients who suffered TBI (n = 70; 50 Males, 20 Females; age 39.31 +/- 2.4 years; BMI 23.8 +/- 0.4 kg/m(2)) or SAH (n = 32; 12M, 20F; age: 51.9 +/- 2.2 year; BMI: 24.7 +/- 0.6 kg/m(2)) we tested 3 and 12 months after the pathological events the pituitary function. In TBI patients, the 3 month evaluation had shown some degree of hypopituitarism in 32.8% and the 12 months retesting demonstrated some degree of hypopituitarism in 22.7%. Total hypopituitarism was always confirmed at 12 months while Multiple and Isolated deficits recorded at 3 months was confirmed in nearly 25% only of the patients. On the other hand, in 5.5% of TBI with normal pituitary function...Continue Reading
