The role of the FT3/FT4 ratio in predicting remission and relapse in pediatric Graves’ disease

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the predictive role of the FT3/FT4 ratio in remission and relapse of pediatric Graves' disease.
• Analyzed the baseline FT3/FT4 ratio in pediatric cases of Graves' disease.
• Compared relapse rates with different FT3/FT4 ratios observed.
• Assessed the specificity of the FT3/FT4 ratio for predicting relapse.
• The FT3/FT4 ratio demonstrated limited predictability for remission.
• A specific ratio of 0.54 pmol/pmol was identified as a strong predictor for relapse.
