- ContextCurrent guidelines on how to divide the daily cortisol substitution dose in patients with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) are controversial and mainly based on empirical data.ObjectiveTo assess how an equal dose of hydrocortisone given either four times daily or twice daily influence diurnal profiles of cortisol and ACTH, patient preferences and health related quality of life (HRQoL).DesignDouble blind, crossover.MethodsFifteen patients with PAI (6 women) were included. Capsules of hydrocortisone or placebo were given at 07:00, 12:00, 16:00 and 22:00 h in 4-week treatment periods: either one period with four doses (10+10+5+5 mg) or one period with two doses (20+0+10+0 mg). Diurnal profiles of cortisol and ACTH were collected and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. Questionnaires were used to evaluate patient preferences and HRQoL.ResultsThe four-dose regimen gave a higher serum cortisol before tablet intake in the morning (P = 0.027) and a higher 24-h-cortisolAUC (P < 0.0001) compared with the two-dose period. In contrast a lower median plasma ACTH in the morning before tablet intake (P = 0.003) and a lower 24-h-ln(ACTHAUC) were found during the four-dose period. The patients preferred the four-dose regimen (P = 0.03), and the HRQoL scores tended to be higher (high score indicates better HRQoL) for the four-dose period.In summary a four-dose regimen gives increased availability of cortisol and an enhanced effect with a less elevated ACTH in the morning in comparison with a two-dose regimen but the effect on HRQoL remains inconclusive.
