Assessing Quality of Life in Thyroid Eye Disease
摘要
Thyroid eye disease (TED) may cause significant cosmetic and functional morbidity resulting in a dramatic impact on quality of life. We review TED- specific QOL assessment tools that have been validated and shown to have good reliability, sensitivity and responsiveness in this population, namely the Graves Orbitopathy Quality of life questionnaire (GO-QOL) and the Thyroid Eye Disease Quality of life questionnaire (TED-QOL). We will also discuss the Graves Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life scale (GO-QLS) and Singapore Thyroid eye disease Quality of life Scale (STED-QOL).
