To establish evidence-based European consensus recommendations for evaluating Graves' orbitopathy and guiding referrals from generalists to specialized tertiary care centers.
Synthesized clinical expert consensus within the European Group on Graves' Orbitopathy (EUGOGO) combining endocrinological and ophthalmological perspectives.
Designed a standardized, five-minute clinical evaluation tool to aid non-specialist clinicians in triaging cases based on severity and urgency.
Identified that lack of specialized assessment or late referral in European clinical practice contributes directly to suboptimal patient outcomes and preventable vision loss.
Recommended that primary care clinicians and general specialists refer all cases exceeding mild disease to specialized tertiary centers equipped with combined endocrine-ophthalmic teams.
