Parathyroidectomy linked to reduced hazard of sustained decline in eGFR of at least 50 percent from baseline among those younger than 60 but not those aged 60 years and older

When clinical symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism are present, TSH, free thyroxine should be measured, regardless of screening results

Association most significant for those aged 65 years or older with history of hypothyroidism who received medication

Bioavailability is equivalent for levothyroxine oral solution administered five minutes prior to coffee or under fasting conditions

Patients with clinical hypothyroidism and a high prehospitalization TSH level had longer length of stay, increased risk for readmission

No reduction seen in mortality or key morbidities, including CV events, cerebrovascular events, cancer, peripheral fractures, kidney stones

Link between maternal thyroid hormone trajectories and preschoolers' behavioral development seen for boys but not girls

However, linear radiation dose-response association between radioactive iodine and solid cancer mortality seen in two studies

Rates of postoperative hypocalcemia and voice dysfunction lower with single preoperative dose of dexamethasone versus placebo

Among patients with available thyroid function test results, levothyroxine often initiated to treat subclinical hypothyroidism (61 percent)
