Epidemiology and Risk Factors of Hyperglycemic Events and Complications Among Patients with Graves’ Disease (GD) or Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) in the United States
Key Points
Hyperglycemic events and complications are significantly more likely in patients with Graves' disease or thyroid eye disease.
Patients with these conditions require proactive metabolic monitoring to manage health risks.
This analysis highlights the independent association of Graves' disease and thyroid eye disease with elevated health complications.
Comprehensive care strategies should be developed to address this heightened risk in the specified population.
Abstract
TED and GD are independently associated with elevated risk of hyperglycemic events and complications. Routine metabolic monitoring and multidisciplinary care are warranted in this population.
