About

Cushing's disease is a rare disease that can reduce patients' expectations or quality of life, and for which predictive factors for cardiovascular mortality and recurrence are not well defined.

The primary objective is to determine the rates of remission and recurrence of patients with Cushing's disease diagnosed between 1990 and 2015 in the French region of the West (Angers, Brest, Nantes, Rennes, Poitiers , Tours) focusing on remission particularly at two periods : that after the first pituitary surgery and that on the day of the last news.

The secondary objective is to study the possible prediction of clinical and biological data perioperative of remission and recurrence during follow-up.

Full description

Investigators are interested in the prevalence of complications of the pathology (cardiovascular, metabolic, neuropsychological, infectious, rheumatological, etc.) within this cohort, the mortality rate, the rate of remission and recurrence and the quality of life history using the history of patient illness and a questionnaire.
