dc.description.abstractAim: Glucocorticoids play a significant role in inflammation and immune system disruption. Our study aimed to analyse different biochemical and blood count indices and serum inflammationbased scores in patients with all different causes of endogenous Cushing’s Syndrome (CS) in a welldefined population.en_GB
dc.description.abstractMethods: Clinical records of 35 patients diagnosed with CS between 2008 and 2020 at the only central national health service hospital in Malta, were retrospectively analysed. Detailed clinical and biochemical data were obtained for each patient. Correlation and receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curve analyses were used to establish a threshold value for different variables to predict malignant CS.en_GB
