Conclusão: A prevalência de hipotireoidismo clínico na população estudada foi maior que a determinada na população geral. Pacientes com sinais e sintomas similares tanto ao hipotireoidismo como a síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono podem se beneficiar da dosagem hormonal tireoidiana.Descritores: Síndromes da Apneia do Sono; Hipotireoidismo; Identidade de Gênero. Abstract Introduction:The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is one of the most complex sleep disorders. The association between hypothyroidism and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome has been the focus of research due to the similarity of symptoms of both disorders. Objective: Determine the prevalence of hypothyroidism in patients complaining of sleep-related breathing disorders. Material and Methods: Two hundred reports from patients of both genders who were referred to first appointment at the Sleep Apnea Clinic of a tertiary center between 2013 and 2014, were revised. The following data were collected: age at time of polysomnography, serum concentration of free thyroxine (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), body mass index (BMI) and apnea/hypopnea index (AHI). A retrospective cross-sectional case study. Results: A prevalence of 16.2% (21/130) of hypothyroidism in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was found and most of them were male, and 10% (7/70) of hypothyroidism in patients without obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and all of them (100%) were female (OR-1.734; CI95%-0.6979-4.308; χ 2 -0.96565; p=0.3258). Conclusion:The prevalence of clinical hypothyroidism in this population was higher than that determined in the general population. Patients with similar signs and symptoms of both hypothyroidism and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome might benefit from thyroid hormone tests.
