A study was carried out to investigate a thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) frontline strategy that could potentially result in a more straightforward interpretation of thyroid function tests, a reduction in the number of inappropriate referrals to medical outpatients, an improvement in the 'turnaround time' of results, and a reduction in the number of unnecessary tests carried out, thereby reducing costs.
开展了一项研究，以调查一种促甲状腺激素（TSH）一线策略，该策略可能会使甲状腺功能测试的解读更加直接，减少转介到内科门诊的不适当病例数量，缩短结果的“周转时间”，并减少不必要的检测数量，从而降低成本。
