Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on psychophysical stress in patients with adrenal insufficiency: the CORTI-COVID study 2020-09-18 .txt text/plain 4585 235 49 METHODS: In this monocentric (Ancona University Hospital, Italy), cross-sectional study covering February-April 2020, 121 (40 primary, 81 secondary) AI patients (59 males, 55 ± 17 years) completed telematically three questionnaires: the purpose-built "CORTI-COVID", assessing medical history and concern for COVID-19-related global health, AI-specific personal health, occupational, economic, and social consequences; the AddiQoL-30; the Short-Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey. We, therefore, aimed to investigate in a cohort of AI patients, for the period February-April 2020: (a) the prevalence, clinical features, and outcome of COVID-19; (b) the prevalence of adrenal crises and their possible association with intercurrent infection with SARS-CoV-2 and/or pandemic-related psychophysical stress; (c) the emotional impact of pandemic-induced lockdown and social distancing; (d) the self-reported QoL and health perception during the lockdown. ./cache/cord-333925-5qg4mufh.txt ./txt/cord-333925-5qg4mufh.txt
