Retired Guidelines

Endocrine Society guidelines can be retired for any of the following reasons: the guideline as a whole is sufficiently out of date that it is no longer relevant to clinical practice; one or more of the guideline recommendations contain important inaccuracies or omissions that, if followed precisely, could lead to substandard patient care or potential harm; or the guideline has been replaced by a more recent publication.
