Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is difference in stimulated salivary flow rate before and after radioiodine therapy, for 1) whole saliva and 2) glandular saliva. Other main study parameters: - Difference in parameters before and after radioiodine therapy: o Whole saliva flow rate (unstimulated) o Sialochemistry (sodium, potassium, chloride, amylase, total protein) - Unstimulated whole saliva - Stimulated whole saliva - Stimulated glandular saliva - Left parotid saliva - Right parotid saliva - Submandibular/sublingual saliva - The correlation between: o Semi-quantitative radioiodine uptake in salivary glands on the pre-therapy WBS and difference in stimulated saliva flow rates pre/post I-131 o Semi-quantitative radioiodine uptake in salivary glands on the post-therapy WBS and difference in stimulated saliva flow rates pre/post I-131 o Quantitative radioiodine uptake in salivary glands on the SPECT/CT and difference in stimulated saliva flow rates pre/post I-131 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters: - Difference in Xerostomia Inventory score (questionnaire) before and after radioiodine therapy - Correlation between post-therapy Xerostomia Inventory score and difference in stimulated saliva flow rates pre/post I-131 - Difference in stimulated salivary flow rates in patients with 1 radioiodine cycle as compared with patients with 2 or more radioiodine cycles - Correlation between cumulative radioiodine dose and post-therapy stimulated saliva flow rates | — |
