Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

    Management

    • Monitor for thyroid irAEs in patients with pre-existing thyroid autoantibodies
    • Implement specific follow-up actions for patients developing thyroid irAEs.

    Monitoring & Follow-up

      Risks

        Patient & Prescribing Data

        585 patients with malignancy treated with PD-(L)-1 inhibitors

        Preexisting thyroid antibodies are a significant risk factor for thyroid irAEs

        Clinical Best Practices

        • Utilize propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting to minimize confounding biases
        • Conduct comprehensive reviews of medical records for accurate assessment of endocrine irAEs
        • Encourage interdisciplinary collaboration in managing thyroid irAEs.
