Association between TG-Ab and thyroid immune related adverse effect and subgroup analysis

Positive Tg-Ab (N = 4) Negative Tg-Ab (N = 16) P-value
Presence of thyroid irAE 0.591
 Thyroid irAE 3 (75.0%) 8 (50.0%)
 No thyroid irAE 1 (25.0%) 8 (50.0%)
Type of thyroid irAE
 Newly developed overt hypothyroidism 1 (25.0%) 4 (25.0%) 1.000
 Worsened hypothyroidism 2 (50.0%) 1 (6.2%) 0.088
 Subclinical hyperthyroidism 0 (0%) 3 (18.8%) 1.000

Among 196 study population, Tg-Ab were achieved in 25 patients
