Is central Adrenal Insufficiency a Common Feature in CHARGE Syndrome : A Cross-Sectional Study in 2 Cohorts?
CAI was not common in our cohorts, and routine testing of adrenal function in children with CHARGE syndrome is not indicated.
This study provides evidence that incoming trainees are not well prepared to perform handoffs. However, those who received instruction during medical school perform better and are more confident on standardized performance assessments. Given communication failures lead to uncertainty in patient care and increases in medical errors, medical schools should incorporate handoff training as required instruction.
