Thyroid Eye Disease and its Vision-Threatening Manifestations in the Academy IRIS Registry: 2014-2018

To evaluate prevalence of thyroid eye disease (TED) and associated factors in the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRISⓇ Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight). Cross-sectional analysis of the IRIS Registry. IRIS Registry patients (18-90 years old) were classified as TED (ICD-9: 242.00, ICD-10: E05.00 on ≥2 visits) or non-TED cases, and prevalence was estimated. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) were estimated using logistic regression. 41,211 TED patients were identified. TED prevalence was 0.09%, showed a unimodal age distribution (highest prevalence in ages 50-59 years (y) (0.12%)), higher rates in females than males (0.12% vs. 0.04%) and in non-Hispanics than Hispanics (0.10% vs. 0.05%). Prevalence differed by race (from 0.08% in Asians to 0.12% in Black/African-Americans), with varying peak ages of prevalence. Factors associated with TED in multivariate analysis included age: ((18-
