Context: Subclinical hypothyroidism is a common clinical problem defined as an elevation in serum thyrotrophin (TSH) with normal circulating free thyroid hormone levels. Empiric treatment of mild subclinical hypothyroidism (mSCH) is controversial.Objective: To evaluate the change in the levothyroxine prescribing rate and TSH testing following a decrease in the TSH reference range from 6 to 4 mU/L in a large urban center.<p class="abstex...

Objectives: To date, there has been no population-wide data looking at the adherence to published TUS reporting guidelines for thyroid nodule malignancy risk assessment. In our health care region in 2018, two radiology groups worked closely with endocrinologists to improve the quality of their TUS reports by adhering to the 2015 ATA or the 2017 TIRADS guidelines. We aim to present the improvement in TUS reports quality with these dedicated changes.Method...

Objective: The 2016 ATA RR assessment recommendations for patients with DTC were based on retrospective studies. We present the first outcomes of a prospective assessment of thyroid cancer management according to the ATA RR stratification.Methods: Using the Calgary prospective thyroid cancer database, we identified 612 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) treated at our centre between April 2017 and December 2021. Each case was reviewed by t...
