Assessing Outcomes After Adrenalectomy for Primary Aldosteronism - Early is Accurate: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective

We aimed to investigate the postoperative trend in blood pressure (BP)-related outcomes [BP and antihypertensive (AHT) drug use] during the year following adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism (PA) to determine the optimal timing for outcome assessment and to determine the necessary follow-up length.
