quality of life ,measured by GO-QoL(quality of life with Grave's Orbitopathy) .

All GO-QoL questions were scored as 'severely limited' (one point), 'a little limited' (two points) or 'not limited at all' (three points). The questions 1-8 for visual functioning (VF) and questions 9-16 for appearance (AP)were summed to produce two raw scores from 8 to 24 points and then transformed to two total scores from 0 to 100 by the following formula: total score = \[(raw score - 8)/16 9 100\]. In both cases, higher total scores indicate better QoL. When there were missing values, total scores were calculated for the remaining completed items. The transformation was then adjusted to total score = \[(raw score - \*)/(2x\*) x100\] where \* is the number of completed items.
