Abstract

Objective We audited our practice of insulin tolerance testing (ITT) in terms of safety and technical success. We reviewed the results of those tests performed over a 12-month period. By relating peak cortisol response to 0900 h screening cortisol level, we determined whether we could reduce the number of tests performed. Design The results of all ITTs performed on our unit between 1 January and 31 December 1991 were reviewed. Patients and measurements Patients were prescreened by measurement of serum cortisol and thyroxine, and recording of an electrocardiogram. A subnormal serum thyroxine ( Results A total of 161 tests were performed, 135 of which fulfilled our inclusion criteria. The test was technically successful in all but 5 of these; a significant adverse event occurred in one patient with full recovery after reversal of hypoglycaemia. Thirty-two patients had a suboptimal serum cortisol response to hypoglycaemia: screening cortisol level ranged from 128 to 493 nmol/l and 0900 h serum cortisol measured prior to the ITT from 97 to 431 nmol/l. The lowest level of screening cortisol above which all patients would be expected to achieve the normal peak cortisol of 580 nmol/l or over is therefore 494 nmol/l. If this cut-off level had been adopted, 10 (8%) ITTs need not have been performed if their only purpose had been to assess cortisol reserve. Altering the criterion for the necessary peak cortisol to 500 nmol/l did not affect the number of ITTs required. Our lower limit f…

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.
