Abstract
En 中文
The accuracy and safety of cortisol-stimulating tests (CSTs) for assessing hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis integrity, including the diagnosis of central adrenal insufficiency (CAI), in children remain uncertain. Although these tests can simultaneously evaluate cortisol and growth hormone secretion, the present study focuses exclusively on cortisol measurements.
