A2 - Sunshine, Philip PY - 2015 T2 - Neonatology: Clinical Practice and Procedures AB - The exact incidence of acute adrenal insufficiency in the neonate is unknown but likely mirrors the incidence of the underlying causes of the adrenal failure. Newborn screening and heightened awareness have resulted in earlier diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) before an acute crisis develops. The incidence of adrenal suppression from pharmacological doses of steroids is likely underestimated, and the exact frequency of adrenal crises in these cases is not known.
