Population

107 patients (adults and children) with adrenal cortex tumors (excluding primary hyperaldosteronism)

Comparison

Weiss's score >3 vs Weiss's score <3

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

5 years

Implication

Supports Weiss score for prognostication in adrenal tumors; leaves open prospective validation before guiding decisions.

Does Weiss's score predict 5-year survival in patients with adrenal cortex tumors?

Population

107 patients (adults and children) with adrenal cortex tumors (excluding primary hyperaldosteronism)

Intervention

Weiss's score >3

Comparator

Weiss's score <3

Outcome

5-year survival ratehard clinical

Weiss's score is a strong prognostic factor for 5-year survival in patients with adrenal cortex tumors, with scores <3 indicating benign behavior and 100% survival.
