Лаконичность, структурированность сведений об определенной нозологии, методов ее диагностики и лечения, базирующихся на принципах доказательной медицины, позволяют в короткий срок дать тот или иной ответ на интересующий вопрос специалисту, добиваться максимальной эффективности и персонализации лечения.</p><p>Данные клинические рекомендации включают в себя алгоритмы диагностики и лечения диффузного нетоксического зоба и узлового/многоузлового зоба у взрослых и детей. Кроме того, настоящие клинические рекомендации содержат информацию о способах адекватной эпидемиологической оценки йододефицитных заболеваний с помощью таких маркеров, как процентное соотношение зоба у школьников, медианная концентрация йода в моче, уровень неонатального тиреотропного гормона, медиана тиреоглобулина у детей и взрослых, а также об основных методах и группах эпидемиологических исследований йододефицитных заболеваний.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Iodine deficiency disorders is a sweeping term that includes structural and functional impairment of the thyroid gland.</p><p>These clinical guidelines include algorithms for the diagnosis and treatment of euthyroid goiter and nodular/ multinodular goiter in adults and children. In addition, these clinical guidelines contain information on methods for an adequate epidemiological assessment of iodine deficiency disorders using such markers as the percentage of goiter in schoolchildren, the median urinary iodine concentration, the level of neonatal TSH, the median thyroglobulin in children and adults.
