Current evidence on determinants of quality of life (QoL) in patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI) is limited. This work aimed to identify the determinants of QoL in different subtypes of AI. This multicenter cross-sectional survey study was conducted using a patient-centered questionnaire, the Short Form-36. Of 529 participants, 223 (42.2%) had primary AI, 190 (35.9%) had secondary AI, and 116 (21.9%) had glucocorticoid-induced AI. Median age was 58 years (interquartile range: 43-68 years) and 342 (64.8%) were women. In multivariable analyses, patients were more likely to report worse physical scores if they were women (odds ratio [OR]: 3.3; 95% CI, 1.8-6.0), had secondary AI or glucocorticoid-induced AI (OR: 2.5; 95% CI, 1.4-4.3), had shorter duration of AI (OR: 2.0; 95% CI, 1.1-3.6), were treated with more than 25 mg hydrocortisone equivalent daily (OR: 2.3; 95% CI, 1.2-4.6), had more comorbidities related to glucocorticoid excess (OR: 2.3; 95% CI, 1.3-4.0), reported a higher financial burden from AI (OR: 2.1; 95% CI, 1.3-3.6), and reported difficulties with AI management (OR: 2.5; 95% CI, 1.2-5.2). Women (OR: 2.1; 95% CI, 1.08-4.0), shorter duration of AI (OR: 2.4; 95% CI, 1.4-4.3), higher financial burden (OR: 2.3; 95% CI, 1.3-4.0), difficulties with AI management (OR: 2.6; 95% CI, 1.4-4.9), and lack of family support (OR: 9.1; 95% CI, 2.3-33.3) were associated with worse mental component scores. In patients with AI, QoL could be improved by addressing certain determinants, such as avoiding GC overreplacement, providing in-depth education on self-management, offering more comprehensive insurance coverage, and ensuring better family support.
