To investigate the link between non-toxic goiter and thyroid dysfunction after exposure to iodinated contrast media (ICM).
Conducted a matched cohort study comparing individuals with non-toxic goiter to those without.
Evaluated thyroid function tests post-ICM exposure for both groups.
Implemented statistical analysis to assess the risk of thyroid dysfunction.
Non-toxic goiter was associated with a three-fold increased risk of thyroid dysfunction post-ICM.
Findings support the need for targeted thyroid screening in high-risk individuals.
Monitoring of TSH levels is recommended for patients with non-toxic goiter following ICM exposure.
Abstract
Non-toxic goiter was linked to a three-fold increased risk of thyroid dysfunction post-ICM, supporting targeted screening and TSH monitoring in high-risk populations.
