MACE was defined by the 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test (cortisol &amp;gt;1.8 \u03bcg\/dL), with \u22655 defined as OH. GR was initiated for basal cortisol \u22645 or stimulated cortisol \u226414 (\u226418 prior to April 2017) on POD1-CST.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Fifty-one (47%) patients had an abnormal POD1-CST; 54 (50%) were discharged on GR (27 MACE, 20 OH, 1 PA, 6 PA\/HC). Median duration of GR was OH: 6.0 months, MACE: 2.1 months, PA: 1 month, PA\/HC: 0.8 months. Overall, 26% (n\u2005=\u20057) of patients with OH and 43% (n\u2005=\u200520) of patients with MACE did not require GR. Two (2%) patients with OH had normal POD1-CST but developed AI several weeks postoperatively requiring GR.
