Methods A total of 44 GO patients were recruited for the study and investigated with SF?36 and GO?QOL questionnaires. In addition,the thyroid function and related antibodies were also detected. Results The scores of SF?36 and GO?QOL were higher in the patients over 45 years than those under 45 years(P<0.05). GO?QOL score was lower in the patients with thyroid stimulating hormone recep?tor antibody higher than 10 IU/mL(P<0.05). The scores of SF?36 and GO?QOL were obviously higher in the patients who had a clinical activity score above 3(P<0.01). Conclusion GO?QOL is a better and more specific questionnaire for GO patients.
