Abstract
Backgruound: Previous studies of fixed-dose radioiodine therapy (RIT) for Graves' disease (GD) have utilized a variety of techniques and reported differing success rates. This study sought to compare the efficacy of RIT using two fixed-dose protocols and to estimate the optimal radioiodine (RAI) activity for the treatment of GD.
Methods: This retrospective trial enrolled 658 patients with GD who received RIT between January 2014 and December 2021. Participants were divided into two groups: protocol 1, which utilized a thyroid size-specific RAI dose, and protocol 2, which employed a modified dose calculation approach. The primary outcome assessed was the presence of euthyroidism or hypothyroidism at the 6-month follow-up. The success rates of RIT were compared between the two protocols.
Results: The RIT success rate was marginally lower for protocol 2 than for protocol 1 (63.6% vs. 67.2%); however, the risk of treatment failure did not differ considerably between the groups (relative risk, 1.1089; 95% confidence interval, 0.8937 to 1.3758; P=0.3477). The median RAI activity associated with protocol 2 was lower than that for protocol 1 (10.7 mCi vs. 15.0 mCi, P=0.0079), and the frequency of hypothyroidism was significantly lower in the protocol 2 group (39.0% vs. 48.9%, P=0.0117).
Conclusion: The success rate of the modified dose calculation protocol was comparable to that of the thyroid size-specific RAI dose protocol. The former approach reduced RAI activity and the incidence of hypothyroidism following RIT without compromising the success rate.
背景：以往对固定剂量放射性碘疗法（RIT）治疗巴塞杜氏病（GD）的研究采用了多种技术，并报告了不同的成功率。本研究旨在比较两种固定剂量方案的 RIT 疗效，并估算治疗 GD 的最佳放射性碘 (RAI) 活性：这项回顾性试验招募了 658 名在 2014 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月期间接受 RIT 治疗的 GD 患者。参与者分为两组：方案 1 采用甲状腺大小特异性 RAI 剂量，方案 2 采用修改后的剂量计算方法。主要评估结果是随访6个月时是否出现甲状腺功能亢进或甲状腺功能减退。对两种方案的RIT成功率进行了比较：方案2的RIT成功率略低于方案1（63.6%对67.2%）；但两组的治疗失败风险差异不大（相对风险，1.1089；95%置信区间，0.8937对1.3758；P=0.3477）。方案2的RAI活性中位数低于方案1（10.7 mCi vs. 15.0 mCi，P=0.0079），方案2组的甲状腺功能减退症发生率显著降低（39.0% vs. 48.9%，P=0.0117）：结论：改良剂量计算方案的成功率与甲状腺大小特异性 RAI 剂量方案相当。前者降低了 RAI 活性，减少了 RIT 后甲状腺功能减退症的发生率，但并不影响成功率。
期刊介绍：
The aim of this journal is to set high standards of medical care by providing a forum for discussion for basic, clinical, and translational researchers and clinicians on new findings in the fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Endocrinology and Metabolism reports new findings and developments in all aspects of endocrinology and metabolism. The topics covered by this journal include bone and mineral metabolism, cytokines, developmental endocrinology, diagnostic endocrinology, endocrine research, dyslipidemia, endocrine regulation, genetic endocrinology, growth factors, hormone receptors, hormone action and regulation, management of endocrine diseases, clinical trials, epidemiology, molecular endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, obesity, pediatric endocrinology, reproductive endocrinology, signal transduction, the anatomy and physiology of endocrine organs (i.e., the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands, and the gonads), and endocrine diseases (diabetes, nutrition, osteoporosis, etc.).
