Abstract

In a retrospective study glucose metabolism was investigated in 206 patients with acromegaly and 131 patients with Cushing's disease. 40.5% of the patients with hypersomatotropism and 32.0% of the patients with hypercortisolism suffered from overt diabetes mellitus. Impaired glucose tolerance was present prior to therapy in 28.2% and 30.6% of the patients, respectively. In acromegaly the incidence of overt diabetes mellitus was higher in women than in men, but no difference existed in the distribution of impaired glucose tolerance between both sexes. No correlation was found between growth hormone levels and occurrence of diabetes. In acromegaly and Cushing's disease overt diabetes increased with advanced age. Diabetes mellitus occurred independently from the etiology of hypercortisolism.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Among patients with endogenous Cushing syndrome, 20% to 45% have diabetes and 10% to 30% have defective glucose tolerance, so overall prevalence of glucose metabolism impairment can approach 70%.

    “From % to % of patients with endogenous CS have DM, and % to % have defective glucose tolerance, so the overall prevalence of glucose metabolism impairments can come close to %, as shown in Table  (, , -).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
