Introduction: Orbitopathy associated with Graves’ disease TAO (thyroid associated orbitopathy) is likewise connected with environmental factors including tobacco smoking. Tobacco smoking increases the risk of ophthalmologic pathology and leads to the orbital tissue damage due to the hypoxia. The aim of the study was to correlate the concentration of urinecotinine (marker of tobacco smoking) in Graves’ disease patients with TAO with points received on the Fagerström questionnaire. Materials and methods: Thirty women with different degree of exacerbation of TAO in Graves’ disease (34.28 ± 12.04 yr.) were examined. As control we used 29 women with Graves’ disease without TAO (29.35 ± 12.33 yr.). The diagno...
