Sintesi	CushQoL is a disease-specific 12-item quality of life questionnaire developed to assess the multidimensional impacts of Cushing's syndrome—a severe endocrine disorder characterized by excess cortisol production. Developed by Webb and colleagues in 2008, it captures physical symptoms (fatigue, weight gain, weakness, hirsutism), psychological manifestations (depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment), and social/occupational dysfunction unique to Cushing's syndrome. It is the standard outcome measure for assessing quality of life improvement following curative therapy.	The AGHDA is a 25-item disease-specific quality of life questionnaire designed to assess the burden of adult growth hormone (GH) deficiency. Developed by Hunt, Werther, and colleagues in 2000, it evaluates symptoms and functional impairments directly related to GH deficiency, including fatigue, reduced muscle strength, weight gain, and psychological difficulties. The instrument is widely used in endocrinology practice and clinical trials to quantify the impact of GH replacement therapy.
