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
