Most symptoms persisted, while myalgias, arthralgias, and weakness worsened during weeks 5-12 postoperatively. At 12 weeks after surgery, normative hand grip strength was weaker than at baseline (mean Z-score delta \u22120.37, P = .009), while normative sit-to-stand test performance improved (mean Z-score delta 0.50, P = .013). Short-Form-36 Physical Component Summary score worsened (mean delta \u22122.6, P = .015), but CushingQoL score improved (mean delta 7.8, P &amp;lt; .001) at 12 weeks compared to baseline.
