The study authors reviewed the medical records for all patients who underwent partial thyroidectomy at their institution between 2013 and 2020. They identified 425 patients who met study criteria. The authors then identified which of these patients were prescribed levothyroxine after surgery.
There are 3 treatment options for hyperthyroidism – antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine therapy and thyroid surgery. There are various factors that go into deciding which treatment option to consider, including the underlying cause for hyperthyroidism, side effects of treatment and patient preferences. This study aimed to assess the long-term safety of each of the three options of treatment for hyperthyroidism.
