Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 02/07/08
McDonough AK et al. - Recent studies suggest that adverse events such as weight gain, skin thinning, sleep disturbance and neuropsychiatric disorders may occur in patients taking glucocorticoids. Adverse events may occur even in low-dose therapy and appear to be dose and duration dependent. Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is a potentially preventable complication but physician adherence to preventive guidelines is poor. New data reinforce the understanding that glucocorticoids significantly increase the risk of infection. There are strong data-driven concerns about the increased susceptibility of children and possibly even neonates to glucocorticoid-associated adverse events.
