Prognostic factors for thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin normalization in moderate-to-severe Graves’ orbitopathy: a 36-month longitudinal study
This study is the first to identify key factors that influence normalization of TSI levels in moderate-to-severe Graves' Orbitopathy. It highlights the importance of early treatment decisions, particularly for patients with initial TSI levels above 425%. Despite the treatment, less than half of the patients achieved TSI normalization within 24 months, underscoring the need for additional research to explore the relationship between TSI levels and the clinical manifestations of chronic GO.
