Initial successful treatment with ATD is followed by a high recurrence rate in our population. Two possible negative predictors of relapse are short duration of primary ATD treatment and young age at the time of diagnosis. TRAb titer at the time of diagnosis or at the time of ATD discontinuation and goitre size seem to have no influence on the outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
