Key result
Patients with adrenal mass had significantly higher carotid intima-media thickness (p=0.00) and worse metabolic parameters compared to healthy controls.
Why the study?
Is the presence of nonfunctional adrenal mass associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness and cardiometabolic risk compared to healthy controls?
Population
81 patients diagnosed with adrenal mass and 33 healthy controls.
Comparison
Presence of adrenal mass (adrenal incidentaloma) vs Healthy control group (n=33)
Design
Case-control

Nonfunctional adrenal masses were associated with higher carotid intima-media thickness; hypothesis-generating for cardiometabolic risk and requires prospective validation.
Case-Control (n=114)
Is the presence of nonfunctional adrenal mass associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness and cardiometabolic risk compared to healthy controls?
p-value: p=0.00
Patients with nonfunctional adrenal incidentalomas exhibit increased insulin resistance and subclinical markers of cardiovascular disease, including increased carotid intima-media thickness and diastolic dysfunction parameters.
Evran et al. (2016) conducted a case-control in Adrenal mass (n=114). Adrenal mass vs. Healthy individuals was evaluated on Carotid intima-media thickness (p=0.00). Patients with adrenal mass had significantly higher carotid intima-media thickness (p=0.00) and worse metabolic parameters compared to healthy controls.
