_{Adrenal insufficiency: acute and long-term management: call for evidence}

What we need

We need the following information for the guideline we are developing on adrenal insufficiency:

• The proportion of people who are prescribed emergency intramuscular hydrocortisone for use outside of a healthcare setting.

• The type of adrenal insufficiency people who are prescribed intramuscular emergency hydrocortisone for use outside of a healthcare setting are diagnosed with.

• The proportion of people who use their emergency intramuscular hydrocortisone outside of a healthcare setting (if possible, stratified by type of adrenal insufficiency).

We are particularly interested in information promoting equality of opportunity relating to age, disability, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion and belief sexual orientation or socio-economic status.

We would like:

• information published since 2007

• unpublished information related to research since 2007, including any ongoing research or commercial information

• If no published or unpublished data is available, data from a newly commissioned survey.

We cannot accept promotional material, non-evidence-based assertions of effectiveness or opinion pieces.
