Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is mortality in patients with non-functioning pituitary adenoma increased : systematic analysis of 546 cases with long follow-up?
Answer: Despite the improvement of treatments over the last three decades, the mortality of patients with NFAs in our series remains high. Apart from age, factors related with the management/outcome of the tumor are not independent predictors, and pituitary hormone deficits managed with the currently-used substitution protocols do not adversely affect mortality.
Output (English): yes
