Comparing the Health‐Related Quality of Life at Two Years After Successful Treatment of Relapsed Graves' Disease With Radiofrequency Ablation, Surgery, or Radioiodine
At 2 years after treatment of relapsed GD, single-session RFA achieved significantly better outcomes in terms of less depressive symptoms and at least comparable outcomes in most HRQOL domains when compared to surgery and RAI, when a disease-specific questionnaire (ThyPRO-39) was used. Comparable outcomes from generic HRQOL questionnaires were noted across RFA, surgery, and RAI.
