Cushing's disease in older patients: Presentation and outcome.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in adults has been associated with impaired health status and quality of life (QoL) in several studies using generic measures, and in a few studies using recently developed disease-specific measures. Theoretically, disease-specific measures may be more sensitive and succinct th...
