The goal of this observational study is to determine the role of TSI, as well as clinical signs and thyroid function tests in predicting Graves' disease (GD) relapse after withdrawing anti thyroid drug (ATD). The main questions it aims to answer are:
Retrospective follow-up study of patients with hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease, treated at the endocrine outpatient clinic of Medic Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City from January 2000 to April 2021. TSI was measured several times during the course of treatment when planning to stop medication (at the discretion of the attending physician). ATD withdrawal would be planned when patients achieved euthyroid status clinically with normal FT4 tests for at least 3 months with minimal dose of ATD. The decision was also based on TSI concentration, goiter's characteristics and parenchymal vascularity on Doppler ultrasound.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATD withdrawal | ATD treatment was decided to be stopped at the discretion of the attending physician. Then, patients were followed after ATD withdrawal to determine who would have relapse of GD. Finally, patients were divided into 2 groups: Relapse and No relapse |
| |
| No ATD withdrawal | Patients treated with ATD still the end of the study |
