Most data on natural history of nonfunctioning adrenal incidentalomas (NFAI) are provided by follow-ups up to 5 years. We conducted a 10.5 (9.1-11.9)-year follow-up study of NFAI in 67 participants (20 (29.9%) males, 47 (70.1%) females) of mean age 57.9 (52.3-63.9) years and BMI 27.42 (24.07-30.56) kg/m2). We also evaluated the associations between baseline body mass index (BMI) and changes of NFAIs’ characteristics at follow-up. Progression to mild autonomous cortisol excess (MACE) was observed in 15 (22 %) patients, with 14 of them having post overnight dexamethasone suppression test (ODST) cortisol between 50-138 nmol/L and only one >138 nmol/L. The progression rate was significantly higher in overweight and obese than in normal weighted subjects. Patients that developed MACE had significantly higher baseline mean cortisol after 1 mg ODST. Tumor enlargement ≥10 mm occurred in 8.9% of patients. All tumors had persistent radiological characteristics typical for adrenal adenoma. In comparison with reports of shorter observational periods, we observed higher growth rate ≥10 mm and higher progression rate from NFAI to MACE, particularly in overweight and obese subjects. We concluded that duration of the follow-up period is an important factor in characterizing the natural history of NFAI. Higher baseline BMI and higher baseline cortisol after ODST might predict the long-term likelihood of progression in hormonal activity. The magnitudes of observed progressions in growth or hormonal activity were clinical insignificant. Our long-term follow-up therefore clearly supports the general view that long term monitoring of patients with NFAI is not necessary.

BackgroundVery little is known about the natural history of challenging behaviour and psychiatric disorder in people with severe and profound degrees of intellectual disability.AimsTo clarify the natural history of challenging behaviour and psychiatric disorder in this population through a long-term prospective cohort study over a 26-year period.MethodOne hundred individuals with severe or profound intellectual disability were randomly selected in 1975. Their behaviour was recorded through carer and psychiatrist ratings using the Modified Manifest Abnormality Scale of the Clinical Interview Schedule. The presence and severity of psychiatric disorder were also recorded. The study was repeated in 1981/82 and 1992/93. We repeated the study again in 2001, supplementing the original observational data with the Checklist of Challenging Behaviour.ResultsBehavioural symptomatology is remarkably persistent, particularly stereotypy, emotional abnormalities, eye avoidance and overactivity although the severity of overall psychiatric disorder does show some abatement through time.ConclusionsThese findings influence the prospects of success in relocating adults with severe and profound degrees of intellectual disability back into the community.
