Prevalence and natural history of Graves' orbitopathy in a large series of patients with newly diagnosed graves' hyperthyroidism seen at a single center.

TL;DR: Most patients with newly diagnosed Graves' disease have no ocular involvement and most patients (>80%) with no GO at baseline do not develop GO after an 18-month follow-up period, andRemission of mild GO occurs in the majority of cases.
Journal Article

Radioiodine therapy (RAI) for Graves' disease (GD) and the effect on ophthalmopathy : a systematic review. Commentary

TL;DR: An association between radioiodine therapy for Graves' disease and the development or worsening of Graves’ ophthalmopathy is widely quoted but there has been no systematic review of the evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence and natural history of Graves’ orbitopathy in the XXI century

TL;DR: There seems to be a trend towards a decline in progression of GO, possibly due to a better control of risk factors (cigarette smoking, thyroid dysfunction, etc.) and a closer interaction between endocrinologists and ophthalmologists allowing an improved integrated management of thyroid and orbital disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lower Dose Prednisone Prevents Radioiodine-Associated Exacerbation of Initially Mild or Absent Graves’ Orbitopathy: A Retrospective Cohort Study

TL;DR: Lower doses of oral prednisone are as effective as previously reported doses (0.3-0.5 mg/kg bw) and a shorter treatment period (6 wk) is probably sufficient, as the increase in bw is less using lower doses ofprednisone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosis and management of amiodarone‐induced thyrotoxicosis in Europe: results of an international survey among members of the European Thyroid Association

TL;DR: To determine how expert European thyroidologists assess and treat amiodarone‐induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) is assessed and treated, a large number of experts believe it to be safe and effective to treat.
