• Clues to Diagnosis and Clinical Outcomes in Autoimmune Addison’s Disease 

      Sævik, Åse Bjorvatn (Doctoral thesis, 2023-10-23)
      Forsinka diagnose av autoimmun Addisons sjukdom (AAS) aukar risikoen for ei potensielt dødeleg binyrekrise. Ved etablert sjukdom er det stor variasjon i kliniske utfall, med forskjellar i risiko for binyrekriser, kardiovaskulær ...

      Design: Two-staged, cross-sectional clinical study in 17 centers (Norway, Sweden, and Germany). Residual glucocorticoid (GC) production was defined as quantifiable serum cortisol and 11-deoxycortisol and residual ...
    • Sex-Specific Limitations in Physical Health in Primary Adrenal Insufficiency 

      Didriksen, Nora Møller; Sævik, Åse Bjorvatn; Sortland, Linn Solveig; Øksnes, Marianne; Husebye, Eystein Sverre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background: Patients with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) suffer reduced quality of life (QoL), but comparisons with large-scale normative data are scarce. The clinical characteristics associated with reduced QoL are ...
