• The tool predicts each patient's TSH and free thyroxine response to different levothyroxine doses. — Impact of a patient-centred levothyroxine decision support tool on rapid achievement of target dosage and improved patient outcomes: protocol for a randomised controlled trial
• The tool uses postoperative thyroid measurements and patient characteristics to estimate an appropriate dose. — Impact of a patient-centred levothyroxine decision support tool on rapid achievement of target dosage and improved patient outcomes: protocol for a randomised controlled trial
• The tool's model uses hierarchical Bayesian modelling with Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation. — Impact of a patient-centred levothyroxine decision support tool on rapid achievement of target dosage and improved patient outcomes: protocol for a randomised controlled trial
• Clinicians may override tool recommendations without affecting study participation or data quality. — Impact of a patient-centred levothyroxine decision support tool on rapid achievement of target dosage and improved patient outcomes: protocol for a randomised controlled trial
• The improved tool version adds an individually calculated delay in TSH response. — Impact of a patient-centred levothyroxine decision support tool on rapid achievement of target dosage and improved patient outcomes: protocol for a randomised controlled trial
