Summary

This study looked at how the adrenal glands work in people who are very sick in the hospital. The goal was to better understand a condition called adrenal insufficiency, where the body doesn't make enough stress hormones. Researchers studied 225 patients and healthy volunteers to find better ways to diagnose this problem. The study did not test a new treatment, but aimed to improve knowledge and future care.
