manner. In a prospective study, the cumulative incidence of CIL with high-dose prednisone therapy was found to be 61% after 3 months, 65% after 6 months, 68% after 9 months, and 69% after 12 months. One study found that even a very low dosage of prednisone of 5 mg/day was associated with symptoms of "Cushing's syndrome". It has been said that data on risk factors for CIL, such as corticosteroid dosage or duration of therapy, is surprisingly sparse. Possible risk factors for CIL include high residual cortisol secretion, decreased clearance of corticosteroids, female sex, younger age (<50 years), high initial
