Results of diagnostic testing.
| NFI | ACS | |
|---|---|---|
| Basal cortisol, median, nmol/L (range)a | 320 (110–629) | 411 (130–985) |
| Morning ACTH, median, pmol/L (range)a | 3.9 (1.1–40.2) | 1.65 (1.1–5.5) |
| Cortisol after 1 mg DST, median, nmol/L (range)a | 31.0 (12–50) | 84 (51–486) |
| Late-night saliva cortisol, median, nmol/L (range)a | 0.9 (0.1–8.2) | 1.75 (0.4–45) |
| DHEAS, median, µmol/L, (range)a | 1.85 (0.4–10.5) | 0.95 (0.4–3.8) |
| UFC, median, nmol/24 h (range) | 72 (2–321) | |
| LDDST, median, nmol/L (range) | 89 (58–517) |
Continuous data as median and range. Lower limit of quantification for p-ACTH, s-cortisol after DST and s-DHEAS was put as registered value for all patients who tested below the limit (<1.1 pmol/L, <28 nmol/L and <0.4 µmol/L for p-ACTH, s-cortisol after DST and s-DHEAS, respectively).
aSignificant difference between the NFI and the ACS group.
