Brief summary

Mean change from baseline to 52 weeks in the ThyPRO tiredness subscale scores.

Detailed description

1. Mean change from baseline to 52 weeks in the ThyPRO-39 composite scale* scores. 2. Improvement from baseline to 52 weeks in the ThyPRO tiredness subscale scores ≥ minimal important difference (=14.3). 3. Mean change from baseline to 52 weeks in the ThyPRO tiredness subscale scores in participants with a baseline score > 57 (= population mean, unpublished results; personal communication with Dr T Watt, developer of the ThyPRO questionnaire)., 4. Mean change from baseline to 52 weeks in the ThyPRO tiredness subscale scores in participants with a normal-range TSH level at 52 weeks. 5. Determinants of the effects of LT4/LT3 combination therapy on tiredness. 6. The (determinants of the) effects of LT4/LT3 combination therapy compared to LT4 therapy alone on other thyroid related complaints and quality of life., 7. The (determinants of the) effects of LT4/LT3 combination therapy compared to LT4 therapy alone on cardiovascular, metabolic, and bone outcomes. 8. The (determinants of the) effects of LT4/LT3 combination therapy compared to LT4 therapy alone on neurocognitive function. 9. Economic evaluation including cost-effectiveness analysis comparing LT4/LT3 combination therapy and LT4 monotherapy., 10. Number of adverse events in the LT4/LT3 combination therapy compared to the LT4 monotherapy groups
