The model was used for both new screening and ongoing management, with telehealth consultations primarily focused on discussing results and medication.
The study described demographics, prevalence of thyroid dysfunction, and patterns of telehealth consultation uptake and type. Results showed 7% (n=587) of users fell into a thyroid dysfunction category, with subclinical hypothyroidism being the most common. Among those with thyroid dysfunction, 16.4% engaged in telehealth. Treatment consultations were more common among those with a history of thyroid issues and often involved medication discussions. The findings suggest the model is feasible for large-scale screening and management but requires further research on clinical effectiveness.
