The correlation between TGAb and clinical characteristics in TRAb-negative TED Patient. (A) The negative correlation was evident between TGAb and Gorman diplopia score; (B) The TGAb level was significantly higher in the group with eyelid erythema symptoms compared to the group without symptoms at 18.39 (2.18, 40.32) IU/ml and 0.18 (0.00, 1.63) IU/ml, respectively, p < 0.01; (C) ROC curve analysis was performed using TGAb as the dependent variable and the presence of eyelid erythema as the outcome variable, yielding an AUC of 0.851 (95% CI: 0.721 – 0.980), p < 0.001, sensitivity of 0.778, specificity of 0.831, and a cutoff value of 3.980 IU/ml. TED, thyroid eye disease. TPOAb, thyroid peroxidase antibody. TGAb, thyroglobulin antibody. ROC, receiver operating characteristic. AUC, area under the curve.
