Risk of Infection-Related Hospitalization Is More Than Doubled in Cushing's Syndrome vs Matched Controls

This study investigates the risk of infection-related hospitalization in patients with Cushing's syndrome compared to matched controls. The authors found that individuals with Cushing's syndrome had more than double the risk of hospitalization due to infections, including both common and opportunistic types, and this elevated risk persisted even after achieving remission. The findings highlight the need for ongoing infection surveillance and preventive strategies in this patient population.
