Abstract | Context: Cushing syndrome (CS) is associated with impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL) even after surgical cure. Objective: To characterize patient and provider perspectives on recovery from CS, drivers of decreased HRQOL during recovery, and ways to improve HRQOL. Design: Cross-sectional observational survey. Participants: Patients (n = 341) had undergone surgery for CS and were members of the Cushing's Support and Research Foundation. Physicians (n = 54) were Pituitary Society physician members and academicians who treated patients with CS. Results: Compared with patients, physicians underestimated the time to complete recovery after surgery (12 months vs 18 months, Conclusion: Poor communication between physicians and CS patients may contribute to dissatisfaction with the postsurgical experience. Increased information on recovery, including helpful coping mechanisms, and improved provider-physician communication may improve HRQOL during recovery. |
