Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cortisol level | 6 months | Postoperative serum cortisol level will be measured and compared to preoperative levels. |
| Thyroid hormone level | 6 months | Postoperative serum TSH and free T4 level will be measured and compared to preoperative levels. |
| Visual field | 6 months | The postoperative visual field will be assessed with standard visual perimetry and compared with preoperative measurements. |
| Diabetes insipidus | 6 months | Postoperatively, the patient's urine output and urine specific gravity will be measured to determine if the patient had diabetes insipidus. If the patient had diabetes insipidus, the duration of the diabetes insipidus will be recorded. |
| Prolactin level | 6 months | Postoperative serum prolactin level will be measured and compared to preoperative levels. |
| IGF-1 level | 6 months | Postoperative serum IGF-1 level will be measured and compared to preoperative levels. |
