Brief summary

The main objective of the study is to assess the sensitivity of the salivary cortisol dosage at 23 hours compared to the serum cortisol dosage at 8 am after overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test (Suppression of serum cortisol \<1.8 μg/dL ) as the reference method for the detection of ACIC in obese subjects

Interventions

* Day 1: 1st salivary cortisol at 23 hours * Day 2: 2nd salivary cortisol at 23 hours and administration of dexamethasone (for overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test) * Day 3: serum cortisol at 8 am * Between Day 4 and Month 3: if serum cortisol at 8 am \> 18ng/mL: * Cortisol for 24 hours * dexamethasone suppression test (2mg/j during 2 days) * Cortisol and ACTH cycle * Noriodocholesterol scintigraphy

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of patients with positive salivary cortisol dosage among patients with positive serum cortisol dosageThe main objective of the study is to assess the sensitivity of the salivary cortisol dosage at 23 hours compared to the serum cortisol dosage at 8 am after overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test as the reference method for the detection of ACIC in obese subjects

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of patients with negative salivary cortisol dosage among patients with negative serum cortisol dosageTo evaluate specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of salivary cortisol compared to serum cortisol at 8 am after overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test
Comparing the results of salivary cortisol dosage and serum cortisol dosageTo evaluate concordance between salivary cortisol dosage and serum cortisol dosage
Comparing the results of the two salivary samplesTo evaluate the concordance of the two salivary samples
Number of patients with metabolic complications of obesity among patients with ACICTo evaluate the link between ACIC and metabolic complications of obesity (insulin resistance, IFG, type 2 diabetes, NAFLD…)
Number of patients with severe type 2 diabetes among patients with ACICTo evaluate the relationship between ACIC and severity of type 2 diabetes, if established.
