Implication

Systematic review highlights substantial mortality risk in patients with primary adrenal insufficiency, implying the need for improved management strategies.

Key Points

Mortality in patients with primary adrenal insufficiency increased 2.5-fold compared to the reference population.
The analysis included 7 studies and a total of 9,876 patients, revealing significant mortality rates related to cardiovascular disease.
The systematic review compiles data from observational studies with mortality comparisons to a reference population.
Findings suggest improved management and monitoring for patients with primary adrenal insufficiency may be critical, especially regarding adrenal crises.
