We were so excited to host our annual midwest procedural boot camp for new neonatology fellows in the Ohio and Southeastern Michigan region! Great turnout and always a treat teaching the next generation of neonatologists.

Congratulations to our just graduated fellow, Kristen Rosano and her mentor @ritarneo for getting this important study published!

[Dr. K. S. Gautham @Dr_KSGautham]

If a neonate is treated with 10 or > days of postnatal systemic steroids with dose tapered before stopping, should you check a morning cortisol level after end of Rx to identify adrenal insufficiency (AI)? Don't bother.
There was no difference in post-Rx AM cortisol levels in infants with and without adrenal insufficiency, (median of 6.5 vs 9.2 mcg/dl).
Infants with a post-Rx cortisol level of <3 mcg/dl had a higher % of AI (20%) but the difference vs other levels was not statistically significant.
Limitations well-discussed by authors (possibility of Type II error and selection bias - babies with levels < 3 were presumed to have AI, automatically Rxed with hydrocortisone).
Useful study, adds to other literature suggesting that checking cortisol levels does not help identify infants at risk for adrenal insufficiency.
Will share additional comments about this interesting article in later posts.
