Thyroid disease

Bridging and Validation of the Specific Graves Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life Questionnaire With Health State Utility Values

Endocr PractPublished Validation study

Authors' conclusion

Patients with moderate-to-severe active TED health states demonstrate increasing TED severity associated with declining utility values and worsening GO-QOL scores. These results indicate that the GO-QOL scores can be used to bridge to the HSU scores for benefit quantification.

Study context

Population
Patients with thyroid eye disease (TED) in 2 randomized, masked, placebo-controlled teprotumumab trials
Participants
171 patients2 RCTs
Comparison
Graves Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QOL) scores vs 6 health state utility (HSU) values by proptosis/diplopia severity
Outcome
GO-QOL vs TED severity and HSU
Follow-up
Baseline and after 6-month treatment
Methodological detailssecondary analysis of 2 randomised, masked, placebo-controlled teprotumumab trials, regression analyses, correlation with health state utility values
