Exploring patients' experiences with thyroid hormones' replacement therapy: gaining a better insight into drivers and barriers.

abstract：:Subclinical hypothyroidism - i.e., a condition characterized by serum TSH concentrations above the normal reference range in the presence of normal serum T4 levels - affects 4 to 20% of the population living in iodine-sufficient areas. The present work reviews the clinical challenges regarding, on the one hand, the si...
