Relationship between hemoglobin glycation index and Cushing's syndrome: a cross-sectional study in Chinese populations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cushing's syndrome (CS) is a group of diseases that lead to multi-organ damage and even life-threatening conditions due to prolonged exposure of the organism to high cortisol levels. In clinical work, its screening and diagnosis process is cumbersome. In this study, we explored the relationship between hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) and Cushing's syndrome in the hope of assisting in the screening of the disease.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included 344 hospitalized patients. Subjects were analyzed by collecting post-admission laboratory indicators. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to test the correlation between HGI and CS. All patients diagnosed with CS underwent a standardized diagnostic process.

Results
