Prognostic value of PANOMEN-3 classification for hypopituitarism in surgically and nonoperatively managed pituitary adenomas

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate how well the PANOMEN-3 classification predicts adrenal and thyroid dysfunction in patients with pituitary adenomas.
• Analyzed the PANOMEN-3 grading system.
• Included surgically and nonoperatively managed pituitary adenoma cases.
• Assessed risk stratification for secondary adrenal and thyroid dysfunction.
• PANOMEN-3 grading effectively identifies patients at increased risk for adrenal dysfunction.
• The classification successfully predicts thyroid dysfunction in both treatment cohorts.
• Overall, it enhances clinical decision-making regarding patient management.
