Introduction
In this page you will find the clinical features of the patients with autoimmune hypophysitis. These features were derived from the published articles and have been entered in a database for analysis.
The first thing you should do is to familiarize yourself with the structure of the database. The database contains numerous fields (columns) for each patient (rows). Some of the fields are encoded, meaning that a number is entered to represent a category (say for example: 0 for "no" and 1 for "yes"). So, first download the list of fields (pdf) and the explanation of the coding (pdf).
