Consensus statement by the French Society of Endocrinology (SFE) and French Society of Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetology (SFEDP) on diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome

Antoine Tabarin et al.

Summary: Cushing's syndrome is a rare condition characterized by prolonged exposure to glucocorticoids, which leads to increased morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis of this syndrome is challenging due to the nonspecific clinical signs, variability in clinical presentation severity, and difficulties in interpreting diagnostic methods. A consensus paper by experts in the field aimed to provide detailed information on the diagnostic criteria, biological diagnostic tools, and interpretation for positive diagnosis and etiological diagnosis based on ACTH-independent and dependent mechanisms. Complex situations such as pregnancy, intense hypercortisolism, fluctuating Cushing's syndrome, pediatric forms, and genetically determined forms were also discussed. Additionally, methods for surveillance and diagnosis of recurrence were addressed.

Late-nigh salivary cortisol and cortisone should be the initial screening test for Cushing's syndrome

Ramjan Sanas Mohamed et al.

Summary: Simultaneous measurement of late-night salivary cortisol and late-night salivary cortisone can effectively improve the diagnostic accuracy of endogenous Cushing's syndrome, especially in ruling out other diseases causing high cortisol levels. Saliva collection is convenient and non-invasive, and can be carried out at home.

Late-night salivary cortisol and cortisone should be the initial screening test for Cushing's syndrome

Ramjan Sanas Mohamed et al.

Summary: The combined measurement of late-night salivary cortisone (LNS cortisone) and late-night salivary cortisol (LNSC) can improve the diagnostic accuracy of Cushing's syndrome (CS) and is recommended as the first-line screening investigation, as saliva collection is non-invasive and convenient.

Diagnostic accuracy of the different hormonal tests used for the diagnosis of autonomous cortisol secretion

Marta Araujo-Castro et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of different tests for autonomous cortisol secretion and related comorbidities in adrenal incidentalomas. Late-night salivary cortisol (LNSC) showed the highest accuracy in ACS identification, while the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) had the strongest association with comorbidities potentially related to ACS.

Consensus on diagnosis and management of Cushing's disease: a guideline update

Maria Fleseriu et al.

Summary: Cushing's disease requires accurate diagnosis, careful treatment selection, and long-term management. The Pituitary Society convened a consensus workshop to discuss recent evidence and clinical practice. Recommendations regarding lab tests, imaging, and treatment options were collated and discussed, with focus on future research topics.
