Abstract

Abstract: The American Thyroid Association recommends levothyroxine monotherapy for treating hypothyroidism, a condition that affects 4.6% of the US population. However, up to 15% of these patients experience residual symptoms despite normalized thyroid-stimulating hormone levels, and may benefit from an endocrinology referral. Additional high-quality studies are needed to further evaluate patient preferences, as well as to investigate long-term outcomes of combination therapy and continue exploring therapeutic options for hypothyroidism management among specific patient subgroups.
