Does Potassium Iodide (SSKI) Reduce Vascularity in Graves' Thyroidectomy?

Does the Use of Pre-operative SSKI Actually Reduce Vascularity and Improve Surgical Outcomes for Total Thyroidectomy in Graves' Disease?

Using 3D imaging software, the investigators will quantify the vascular flow in the ultrasound images and compare baseline images with the operating room (OR) images to assess if there is a difference in vascular flow between those timepoints. Vascular flow will be quantified using percent (%) surface area. This calculation will be done by a computer algorithm.

All participants complete a baseline neck ultrasound no less than 7 days prior to surgery, to obtain vascular flow imaging. Participants are then randomized to receive 7 days of pre-operative SSKI or not receive any drug. In the practice at Columbia, all patients with Graves' disease receive SSKI preoperatively, though this is not standard practice across the country, thus the 'no drug' group is experimental for research.
All participants complete a second ultrasound on the operating table before surgery, to assess for change in vascularity (experimental, as not all patients receive intra-operative ultrasounds before surgery). Both ultrasounds are performed by the surgeon.

The mother-child dyads were randomly assigned either to receive iodine capsule (n = 53) or iodized salt (n = 53). The iodine capsule group received 225 µg of iodine daily as potassium iodide for 6 months.The iodized salt group was provided with iodized salt (30 to 40 mg iodine/kg as KIO3). One packet of salt (450 g) per household was provided starting within one week of delivery for 6 months.
