Implication

Consensus statement demonstrates tiered treatment strategies in Graves' orbitopathy patients, highlighting glucocorticoids and prompt surgical decompression.

Key Points

Intravenous glucocorticoids serve as the primary intervention for active moderate-to-severe Graves' orbitopathy, whereas surgical decompression is reserved for inactive disease.
Consensus guidelines mandate surgical decompression within 1–2 weeks if sight-threatening Graves' orbitopathy fails to improve following intravenous glucocorticoid therapy.
Implications emphasize establishing euthyroidism and referring all patients to specialist centers, ensuring mild cases receive local measures and quality-of-life monitoring.
