ABSTRACT
An article entitled "Adrenal incidentalomas are tied to increased risk of diabetes: findings from a prospective study" published in JCEM in April 2020, was hereby translated into Chinese after obtaining the copyright [Giuseppe R, et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2020, 105(4): dgz284]. This is a prospective study to explore the frequency of adrenal incidentalomas and their association with comorbid diseases. It recruited 601 patients who underwent abdominal CT scan in the radiology department at a public hospital. Those with any history or doubt of adrenal diseases or malignancy were considered as non-eligible. In 7.3% of the patients, adrenal incidentalomas were serendipitously found. The patients with an adrenal incidentaloma were with higher body mass index( P=0.009) and higher waist circumference( P=0.007) and were more frequently diabetic(31.8% vs 14.2%, P=0.003 8). Multivariate regression analysis showed that diabetes was significantly associated with the presence of adrenal incidentalomas( P=0.003). Autonomous cortisol secretion was observed in 50% of patients(plasma cortisol≥50 nmol/L after 1 mg dexamethasone). This is the first study showing that the frequency of adrenal incidentalomas is 7.3% in a prospective radiological series avoiding ascertainment bias and adrenal incidentalomas are tied to increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
