| Core Tip |
This systematic review presents the most comprehensive data synthesis on levothyroxine (LTX) overdose (OD) across all age groups. It highlights key clinical patterns that distinguish unintentional pediatric OD from intentional adult OD, with the latter exhibiting more prominent symptom severity. Despite wide dose variability, mortality was rare. Most cases were managed conservatively. Extracorporeal modalities were employed in cases that were severe and refractory. This systematic review highlights the need for treatment protocols and prevention strategies for LTX toxicity, providing valuable insights for clinicians managing thyroid hormone toxicity. |
