Data Sheet 1_Predictive factors of permanent hypothyroidism after subacute thyroiditis: a

Ten studies involving 1294 patients were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis, authored by Qianhui Cui and last updated in April 2026. It synthesizes evidence on factors associated with permanent hypothyroidism following subacute thyroiditis, including free triiodothyronine levels, thyroglobulin antibody positivity, and treatment modality. The analysis was conducted following PRISMA guidelines and registered with PROSPERO.

Use Cases

• Identify high-risk patients for permanent hypothyroidism based on free triiodothyronine levels and thyroglobulin antibody status.
• Compare the effectiveness of corticosteroid therapy versus NSAID-based management in preventing permanent hypothyroidism.
• Inform personalized follow-up strategies for patients recovering from subacute thyroiditis.

Strengths

• Includes data from 1294 patients across 10 studies, providing a substantial evidence base.
• Follows PRISMA guidelines and assesses study quality using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale, suggesting a structured methodology.
• Quantifies heterogeneity using I² and τ² statistics, indicating transparency in the meta-analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 685.3 KB DOCX file; the underlying data tables and column definitions are not directly accessible.
• Row count for the primary data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
