Abstract

CONTEXT: Recent recommendations to decrease the upper limit of the TSH reference range from 4.5 to 2.5 mIU/liter, based on the high proportion of normal people whose serum TSH is less than 2.5 mIU/liter and the observation that those with TSH between 2.5 and 4.5 mIU/liter [upper reference range (URR)] have increased risk of progression to overt hypothyroidism (Whickham, 20-yr data), have not been subjected to critical analysis. STUDY SUBJECTS: The study subjects were from the Reference Group of NHANES III, 14,333 people more than 12 yr old, without known thyroid disease or antithyroid antibodies; 85% had TSH levels below 2.5 mIU/liter, and 2.3% had subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). An additional 9.7% had URR TSH, representing 20.6 million Americans, who would also be identified as SCH if the upper TSH limit were decreased. Many with URR TSH do not have thyroid disease. INTERVENTION: The time of phlebotomy is important, because the TSH level varies throughout the day, with early morning values greater than later ones, and is accentuated by sleep deprivation, strenuous exercise, or working during the night or evening shifts. Repeated measurements in the same individual vary considerably over months. RESULTS: About half of those with URR TSH probably have thyroid disease, but most with thyroid disease, antithyroid peroxidase antibodies, have TSH below 2.5 mIU/liter. Those with URR TSH with thyroid disease probably have minimal thyroid deficiency, without any reported adverse health consequences or benefit of treatments with levothyroxine. CONCLUSION: Because routine levothyroxine treatment is not recommended for SCH, it is certainly not warranted in individuals with URR TSH. For all patients with URR TSH, it is reasonable to determine serum TSH every 1-2 yr.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
