SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 12 months

Population: Includes all enrolled participants and those who had cortisol levels obtained at the scheduled time.

Subclinical adrenal insufficiency was defined as a morning cortisol level less than 10.0 micrograms per deciliter. One low level at anytime during the study period was recorded as an insufficient level.
