Retrospective assessment of 1138 children with newly diagnosed Graves' disease from 1982 to 2006.
Patients treated with antithyroid drugs until remission or intervention.
Remission defined as maintaining euthyroidism for over 12 months post-treatment.
334 out of 639 patients (46.2%) who discontinued treatment achieved remission.
Adverse events occurred in 21.4% of patients on methimazole and 18.8% on propylthiouracil.
Most adverse events (91.6%) arose within the first three months of treatment.
