Abstract

The increased cerebrovascular mortality may be due to GH deficiency, or to long-term lack or inadequacy of substitution for other pituitary hormones. The observations that an early onset of pituitary insufficiency and female sex are predictors for a high risk for cerebrovascular mortality merit particular attention when treating this group of patients.
