Abstract:Objective To study the effect of thyroid autoantibodies on the clinical outcome of 131I treatment of hyperthyroidism. Methods A total of 194 cases of hyperthyroidism treated by 131I admitted to North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital from July 2016 to April 2017 were selected and divided into 4 groups based on the results of pretreatment thyroid autoantibodies. TRAb and TPOAb were negative in group A; TRAb was positive and TPOAb was negative in group B; TRAb was negative and TPOAb was positive in group C; TRAb and TPOAb were positive in group D. The relationship between different thyroid autoantibodies before treatment and clinical outcome after 131I treatment in patients with hyperthyroidism after 1 year follow-up. Results ① In patients with hyperthyroidism treated with 131I for 1 year, the effective rate was 80.4%, normal thyroid function rate was 52.0%, hypothyroidism rate (including subclinical hypothyroidism) was 28.4%, and ineffective hyperthyroidism rate (including subclinical hyperthyroidism) was 19.6%. ② The composition ratio of clinical outcome of different thyroid autoantibodies in patients with hyperthyroidism after 131I treatment was different (P < 0.05). ③ In this study, (R×C) chi-square test and Post hoc testing showed that the results of hyperthyroidism were statistically significant between group B, group D and group A and group C (P < 0.05) and there was no statistically significant difference between group B and group C, group A and group D (P < 0.05). For hypothyroidism, there was statistically significant difference between group B, group C and group A, group D, but there was no statistically significant difference between group B and group C, group A and group D; Thyroid function was normal and there was no statistical difference in the 4 groups. Conclusions Before treatment, patients with hyperthyroidism with positive TRAb and negative TPOAb have higher inefficiency after treatment, while patients with hyperthyroidism with negative TRAb and positive TPOAb have higher incidence of hypothyroidism after treatment.
