  • A Longitudinal Study of Medial Temporal Lobe Volumes in Graves Disease
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. - : The Endocrine Society. - 0021-972X .- 1945-7197. ; 107:4, s. 1040-1052

    • Context: Neuropsychiatric symptoms are common features of Graves disease (GD) in hyperthyroidism and after treatment. The mechanism behind these symptoms is unknown, but reduced hippocampal volumes have been observed in association with increased thyroid hormone levels. Objective: This work aimed at investigating GD influence on regional medial temporal lobe (MTL) volumes. Methods: Sixty-two women with newly diagnosed GD underwent assessment including magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in hyperthyroidism and 48 of them were followed up after a mean of 16.4±4.2 SD months of treatment. Matched thyroid-healthy controls were also assessed twice at a 15-month interval. MR images were automatically segmented using multiatlas propagation with enhanced registration. Regional medial temporal lobe (MTL) volumes for amygdalae and hippocampi were compared with clinical data and data from symptom questionnaires and neuropsychological tests. Results: Patients had smaller MTL regions than controls at inclusion. At follow-up, all 4 MTL regions had increased volumes and only the volume of the left amygdala remained reduced compared to controls. There were significant correlations between the level of thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAb) and MTL volumes at inclusion and also between the longitudinal difference in the levels of free 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine and TRAb and the difference in MTL volumes. There were no significant correlations between symptoms or test scores and any of the 4 MTL volumes. Conclusion: Dynamic alterations in the amygdalae and hippocampi in GD reflect a previously unknown level of brain involvement both in the hyperthyroid state of the condition and after treatment. The clinical significance, as well as the mechanisms behind these novel findings, warrant further study of the neurological consequences of GD.

  • Structural brain changes in hyperthyroid Graves' disease: protocol for an ongoing longitudinal, case-controlled study in Göteborg, Sweden-the CogThy project.
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: BMJ open. - : BMJ. - 2044-6055. ; 9:11

    • Cognitive impairment and reduced well-being are common manifestations of Graves' disease (GD). These symptoms are not only prevalent during the active phase of the disease but also often prevail for a long time after hyperthyroidism is considered cured. The pathogenic mechanisms involved in these brain-derived symptoms are currently unknown. The overall aim of the CogThy study is to identify the mechanism behind cognitive impairment to be able to recognise GD patients at risk.The study is a longitudinal, single-centre, case-controlled study conducted in Göteborg, Sweden on premenopausal women with newly diagnosed GD. The subjects are examined: at referral, at inclusion and then every 3.25 months until 15 months. Examinations include: laboratory measurements; eye evaluation; neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological testing; structural MRI of the whole brain, orbits and medial temporal lobe structures; functional near-infrared spectroscopy of the cerebral prefrontal cortex and self-assessed quality of life questionnaires. The primary outcome measure is the change in medial temporal lobe structure volume. Secondary outcome measures include neuropsychological, neuropsychiatric, hormonal and autoantibody variables. The study opened for inclusion in September 2012 and close for inclusion in October 2019. It will provide novel information on the effect of GD on medial temporal lobe structures and cerebral cortex functionality as well as whether these changes are associated with cognitive and affective impairment, hormonal levels and/or autoantibody levels. It should lead to a broader understanding of the underlying pathogenesis and future treatment perspectives.The study has been reviewed and approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board in Göteborg, Sweden. The results will be actively disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, national and international conference presentations and among patient organisations after an appropriate embargo time.44321 at the public project database for research and development in Västra Götaland County, Sweden (https://www.researchweb.org/is/vgr/project/44321).

  • The relationship between mental fatigue, depression, and cognition in Graves' disease.
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: European thyroid journal. - 2235-0640 .- 2235-0802. ; 12:4
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Mental fatigue, depression, anxiety, and cognitive complaints are common in Graves' disease (GD). Our aims were to assess the relationship between these variables in patients with GD during both hyperthyroidism and a long stable euthyroidism.A prospective longitudinal case-control study where 65 premenopausal women diagnosed with GD and 65 matched controls were assessed twice with 15 months in between. The first visit for patients was in overt hyperthyroidism and the second after treatment.During the hyperthyroid phase, mental fatigue, depression, and anxiety were significantly increased for GD patients compared to controls (all P < 0.001). Among GD patients, 89% reported mental fatigue and among controls 14%. No difference in cognitive tests was found. After 15 months, significant improvements for GD patients after treatment were found for the items of mental fatigue, depression, and anxiety (all P < 0.001), but these were unchanged in controls. GD patients reported residual mental fatigue (38%), 23% without depression, and 15% mental fatigue combined with depression. Self-reported cognitive complaints were pronounced while cognitive tests did not reveal any deficiencies.Mental fatigue and emotional distress are common in the hyperthyroid phase. These improve with treatment but are still more common in GD patients after 15 months of therapy than in controls. The residual mental fatigue is shown to be a phenomenon distinct from depression in this study. This indicates the importance of assessing mental fatigue in GD patients and underlines the need for rehabilitation and healthcare support as fatigue will have consequences for work ability.

  • The Long-Term Outcome of Treatment for Graves' Hyperthyroidism
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Thyroid. - : Mary Ann Liebert Inc. - 1050-7256 .- 1557-9077. ; 29:11, s. 1545-1557
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: The treatment efficacy of antithyroid drug (ATD) therapy, radioactive iodine (I-131), or surgery for Graves' hyperthyroidism is well described. However, there are a few reports on the long-term total outcome of each treatment modality regarding how many require levothyroxine supplementation, the need of thyroid ablation, or the individual patient's estimation of their recovery. Methods: We conducted a pragmatic trial to determine the effectiveness and adverse outcome in a patient cohort newly diagnosed with Graves' hyperthyroidism between 2003 and 2005 (n = 2430). The patients were invited to participate in a longitudinal study spanning 8 +/- 0.9 years (mean +/- standard deviation) after diagnosis. We were able to follow 1186 (60%) patients who had been treated with ATD, I-131, or surgery. We determined the mode of treatment, remission rate, recurrence, quality of life, demographic data, comorbidities, and lifestyle factors through questionnaires and a review of the individual's medical history records. Results: At follow-up, the remission rate after first-line treatment choice with ATD was 45.3% (351/774), with I-131 therapy 81.5% (324/264), and with surgery 96.3% (52/54). Among those patients who had a second course of ATD, 29.4% achieved remission (vs. the 45.3% after the first course of ATD). The total number of patients who had undergone ablative treatment was 64.3% (763/1186), of whom 23% (278/1186) had received surgery, 43% (505/1186) had received I-131 therapy, including 2% (20/1186) who had received both surgery and I-131. Patients who received ATD as first-line treatment and possibly additional ATD had 49.7% risk (385/774) of having undergone ablative treatment at follow-up. Levothyroxine replacement was needed in 23% (81/351) of the initially ATD treated in remission, in 77.3% (204/264) of the I-131 treated, and in 96.2% (50/52) of the surgically treated patients. Taken together after 6-10 years, and all treatment considered, normal thyroid hormone status without thyroxine supplementation was only achieved in 35.7% (423/1186) of all patients and in only 40.3% of those initially treated with ATD. The proportion of patients that did not feel fully recovered at follow-up was 25.3%. Conclusion: A patient selecting ATD therapy as the initial approach in the treatment of Graves' hyperthyroidism should be informed that they have only a 50.3% chance of ultimately avoiding ablative treatment and only a 40% chance of eventually being euthyroid without thyroid medication. Surprisingly, 1 in 4 patients did not feel fully recovered after 6-10 years. The treatment for Graves' hyperthyroidism, thus, has unexpected long-term consequences for many patients.

  • Long term outcome after toxic nodular goitre
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Thyroid Research. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1756-6614. ; 15:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: The purpose of treating toxic nodular goitre (TNG) is to reverse hyperthyroidism, prevent recurrent disease, relieve symptoms and preserve thyroid function. Treatment efficacies and long-term outcomes of antithyroid drugs (ATD), radioactive iodine (RAI) or surgery vary in the literature. Symptoms often persist for a long time following euthyroidism, and previous studies have demonstrated long-term cognitive and quality of life (QoL) impairments. We report the outcome of treatment, rate of cure (euthyroidism and hypothyroidism), and QoL in an unselected TNG cohort. Methods: TNG patients (n = 638) de novo diagnosed between 2003-2005 were invited to engage in a 6-10-year follow-up study. 237 patients responded to questionnaires about therapies, demographics, comorbidities, and quality of life (ThyPRO). Patients received ATD, RAI, or surgery according clinical guidelines. Results: The fraction of patients cured with one RAI treatment was 89%, and 93% in patients treated with surgery. The rate of levothyroxine supplementation for RAI and surgery, at the end of the study period, was 58% respectively 64%. Approximately 5% of the patients needed three or more RAI treatments to be cured. The patients had worse thyroid-related QoL scores, in a broad spectrum, than the general population. Conclusion: One advantage of treating TNG with RAI over surgery might be lost due to the seemingly similar incidence of hypothyroidism. The need for up to five treatments is rarely described and indicates that the treatment of TNG can be more complex than expected. This circumstance and the long-term QoL impairments are reminders of the chronic nature of hyperthyroidism from TNG.

  • Treatment of patients with Graves' disease in Sweden compared to international surveys of an 'index patient'
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism. - : Wiley. - 2398-9238. ; 4:3
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Introduction The treatment strategies for a 42-year-old female index patient with moderate Graves' disease (GD) vary according to several international surveys. The important question whether surveys of treatment preferences in theoretical patient cases also match how real patients are treated has not yet been addressed. Materials and Methods From a Swedish cohort of 1186 GD patients (TT-12 cohort), 27 women were identified using the same criteria as from the index patient surveys from the European and American Thyroid Associations. This 'index patient cohort' was age 40-45, otherwise healthy female, with two children and uncomplicated GD. The applied first-line treatment of the patients in the index cohort, together with its variations, was compared with the treatment preferences according to international surveys. A comparison with the TT-12 cohort was also performed. Results In the 'Index cohort', 77.8% were treated with antithyroid drugs (ATD), and 22.2% were treated with radioiodine (I-131). This preference for ATD is in line with most countries/regions, with the exception of USA and the Middle East/North Africa, where I-131 was preferred. The distribution of treatment in the TT-12 cohort did not significantly differ from the index cohort. ATD was the preferred treatment in male and young (age 19-22) patients, as was RAI in old (age 69-73) patients. The age-related, but not the gender-related, cases differed significantly from the entire TT-12 cohort. Conclusion The treatment choice in an index patient in Sweden seems in line with European practice, where ATD is the preferred first choice. This differs compared to US and North African survey intentions, where I-131 is more often used. Age more than gender influences the treatment choice of GD patients. This is, to our best knowledge, the first time an index patient from 'real life' has been presented and compared to treatment preferences of international thyroid association surveys.

  • β 1-adrenergic and Muscarinic Acetylcholine Type 2 Receptor Antibodies are Increased in Graves' Hyperthyroidism and Decrease during Antithyroid Therapy
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes. - : Georg Thieme Verlag KG. - 0947-7349 .- 1439-3646. ; 129:11, s. 783-790

    • Objective To determine the association between autoantibodies to G-protein-coupled receptors with effect on the cardiovascular system and the cardiac biomarker N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide reflecting heart function in Graves' disease. Design and Methods Sixty premenopausal women with Graves' disease were analyzed for IgG autoantibodies against β 1-adrenergic, muscarinic acetylcholine type 2 and angiotensin II type 1 receptors using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays based on cell membranes overexpressing receptors in their native conformations. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and heart symptoms were analyzed in hyperthyroidism and after 7.5 months of antithyroid treatment. Matched thyroid healthy controls were also assessed. Results Serum levels of antibodies against the β 1-adrenergic and the muscarinic acetylcholine type 2 receptors were higher in hyperthyroid patients than in controls (median β 1-adrenergic receptor antibodies 1.9 [IQR 1.3-2.7] vs. 1.1 [0.8-1.7] μg/mL, P <0.0001; muscarinic acetylcholine type 2 receptor 20.5 [14.0-38.3] vs. 6.0 [3.2-9.9] U/mL, P <0.0001). These antibodies decreased in euthyroidism (P <0.01), but were still higher than in controls (P <0.01). Angiotensin II type 1 receptor levels did not differ. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide was higher in hyperthyroidism (240 [134-372] vs. <35 [<35-67] ng/L, P <0.0001), normalized after treatment and did not correlate with autoantibodies. Conclusion Autoantibodies against the β 1-adrenergic and the muscarinic acetylcholine type 2 receptors were increased in Graves' patients, decreased with treatment, but did not correlate with cardiac function. However, an autoimmune effect on the heart cannot be excluded in subpopulations, as the functional properties of the analyzed antibodies remain to be determined. © 2021 Georg Thieme Verlag.

  • Impaired Quality of Life After Radioiodine Therapy Compared to Antithyroid Drugs or Surgical Treatment for Graves’ Hyperthyroidism : A Long-Term Follow-Up with the Thyroid-Related Patient-Reported Outcome Questionnaire and 36-Item Short Form Health Status Survey
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Thyroid. - : Mary Ann Liebert. - 1050-7256 .- 1557-9077. ; 29:3, s. 322-331
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: Hyperthyroidism is known to have a significant impact on the quality of life (QoL) at least in the short term. The purpose of the present study was to assess QoL in patients at 6-10 years after treatment for Graves' disease (GD) with radioiodine (RAI) to those treated with thyroidectomy or antithyroid drugs (ATD) as assessed with both a thyroid-specific (ThyPRO) and general (SF-36) QoL surveys.METHODS: We evaluated 1186 GD patients in a sub-cohort from an incidence study 2003-2005 which had been treated according to routine clinical practice at seven participating centers. Patients were included if they had returned the ThyPRO (n=975) and/or the SF-36 questionnaire (n=964) and informed consent at follow-up. Scores from ThyPRO were compared with scores from a general population sample (n=712), using multiple linear regression adjusting for age and gender as well as multiple testing. Treatment related QoL outcome for ATD, RAI and surgery were compared including adjustment for the number of treatments received, sex, age and co-morbidity.RESULTS: Regardless of treatment modality, patients with GD had worse thyroid-related QoL 6-10 years after diagnosis compared with the general population. Patients treated with RAI had worse thyroid-related and general QoL than patients treated with ATD or thyroidectomy on the majority of QoL-scales. Sensitivity analyses supported the relative negative comparative effects of RAI treatment on QoL in patients with hyperthyroidism.CONCLUSIONS: Graves' disease is associated with a lower QoL many years after treatment compared to the general population. In a previous, small RCT we did not show any difference in patient satisfaction years after ATD, RAI or surgery. We now report that in a large non-randomized cohort, patients who received RAI had adverse scores on ThyPRO and SF-36. These findings in a Swedish population are limited by comparison to normative data from Denmark, by older age and possibly a more prolonged course in those patients who received radioiodine, and a lack of information regarding thyroid status at the time of evaluation. The way RAI may adversely affect QoL is unknown but since the results may be important for future considerations regarding treatment options for GD they need to be substantiated in further studies.
