Incidence of subclinical and overt hypothyroidism in children treated with [131I]mIBG: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Hypothyroidism appears to occur frequently in children treated with [131I]mIBG, which should be monitored closely after the radionuclide treatment to start hormone replacement therapy as soon as needed. The duration, as well as the type of thyroid blockade, seem to influence the incidence of hypothyroidism; however, more data from prospective evaluations are needed.PMID:38319674 | DOI:10.23736/S1824-4785.24.03552-0
