GD, Graves ‘disease; N, number; TSH, thyroid stimulating hormone; fT4, free thyroxine; mm, millimeters; CAS, Clinical Activity Score. Values are reported as median (lower quartile – upper quartile) or counts. The P value indicates if any statistically significant difference was found between the two evaluations. Statistically significant P values are in italic.
