Conflict of interest statement

Competing interests: No members of the working group declared competing interests. One member of the task force, Roland Grad, declared a conflict of interest related to the 2016 development of an educational video on thyroid dysfunction, not funded by industry. He was not a member of the working group and chose not to vote on the guideline. All other task force members declared that they had no conflicts of interest.
