Context: For some common thyroid-related conditions with high prevalence and long follow-up times, ChatGPT can be used to respond to common thyroid-related questions.
Objective: In this cross-sectional study, we assessed the ability of ChatGPT (version GPT-4.0) to provide accurate, comprehensive, compassionate, and satisfactory responses to common thyroid-related questions.
Methods: First, we obtained 28 thyroid-related questions from the Huayitong app, which together with the 2 interfering questions eventually formed 30 questions. Then, these questions were responded to by ChatGPT (on July 19, 2023), a junior specialist, and a senior specialist (on July 20, 2023) separately. Finally, 26 patients and 11 thyroid surgeons evaluated those responses on 4 dimensions: accuracy, comprehensiveness, compassion, and satisfaction.
Results: Among the 30 questions and responses, ChatGPT's speed of response was faster than that of the junior specialist (8.69 [7.53-9.48] vs 4.33 [4.05-4.60]; P < .001) and the senior specialist (8.69 [7.53-9.48] vs 4.22 [3.36-4.76]; P < .001). The word count of the ChatGPT's responses was greater than that of both the junior specialist (341.50 [301.00-384.25] vs 74.50 [51.75-84.75]; P < .001) and senior specialist (341.50 [301.00-384.25] vs 104.00 [63.75-177.75]; P < .001). ChatGPT received higher scores than the junior specialist and senior specialist in terms of accuracy, comprehensiveness, compassion, and satisfaction in responding to common thyroid-related questions.
Conclusion: ChatGPT performed better than a junior specialist and senior specialist in answering common thyroid-related questions, but further research is needed to validate the logical ability of the ChatGPT for complex thyroid questions.

Purpose: Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is the most common thyroid-related autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Despite a surge in TED-related publications over the past five years-matching the total output of the preceding sixteen years-a systematic bibliometric analysis remains absent. This study aims to systematically map the knowledge structure, research hotspots, and future trends in TED research.

Autoantibodies against β-cell components in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans are characteristic of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The genetic and autoimmune determinants of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Ethiopians are not yet thoroughly characterized, with studies indicating a lower occurrence of autoantibodies related to T1D compared to Caucasians. The study aimed to determine the occurrence of autoantibodies related to type 1 diabetes (T1D), celiac disease (CD), and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in conjunction with Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genotype in Ethiopian children and adolescents with T1D.

Thyroid cancer (TC) is a common malignant tumor of the endocrine system, with a markedly higher incidence in females. While radiation exposure remains the only proven exogenous risk factor, growing evidence implicates environmental pollutants in TC pathogenesis. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are endocrine-disrupting chemicals with well-established carcinogenicity.

The influence of COVID-19 vaccination on the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in lung cancer treatment is not well understood. A cohort of 394 lung cancer patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors was analyzed. The incidence and types of irAEs were recorded, and the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses.

Purpose: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is the most common extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease (GD), driven by stimulatory thyrotropin receptor autoantibodies (TRAbs). Intravenous glucocorticoid pulse therapy (ivGC) is the first-line treatment for active moderate-to-severe TED. This retrospective cohort study aimed to identify predictive factors associated with treatment response in TED patients receiving ivGC therapy.
