High risk of pituitary dysfunction due to aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage: a prospective investigation of anterior pituitary function in the acute phase and 12 months after the event

Abstract

GH deficiency (GHD) was the most common pituitary deficit at 12 months after SAH and the majority of the patients (87.5%) had isolated GHD. During the 12-month follow-up, pituitary function was found to either improve or worsen in a considerable number of patients.
