Previous studies have indicated that most individuals reach peak cortisol levels in 60 minutes during the short Synacthen test (SST) done to exclude adrenal insufficiency. Therefore, measuring serum cortisol at only 60 minutes may suffice. This study was carried out to evaluate the significance of the 60-minute serum cortisol level in SST as a reliable and cost-effective screening test in comparison to the conventional SST.
