Comparative analysis of ophthalmometry, CAS, and temperatures of caruncles and upper eyelids between groups.

	GD patients with active ophthalmopathy (CAS > 3)	GD patients with inactive ophthalmopathy (CAS < 3)	GD patients without ophthalmopathy	Healthy controls	p Value
Ophthalmometry (mm)	20.25 (13 – 27.5)	13.5 (7 – 22.5)	9.5 (7 – 13)	9.5 (7 – 12,5)	< 0.0001
CAS	4 (3 – 7)	0 (0 – 2)
Temperature of caruncles (°C)	38.4 (37 – 39.6)	36.05 (34.85 – 37.25)	36.13 (34.3 – 37.4)	36.13 (34.35 – 37.35)	< 0.0001

GD, Graves ‘disease; CAS, Clinical Activity Score; mm, millimeters; °C, celsius.
Values are reported as median (lower quartile – upper quartile) or counts. The P value indicates if any statistically significant difference was found between groups. Statistically significant P values are in italic.
