Hypopituitarism following traumatic brain injury (TBI): a guideline decalogue.
In order to gain further insight into hypopituitarism, that ensues moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), a group of experts actively working in the field gathered to exchange recent data and concepts. The objective arising from the meeting was to enhance the awareness of both medical specialists and health care administrators on the problem, whose prevalence is higher than previously thought. Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of TBI-mediated hypopituitarism were produced.
