“…Moreover, respiratory dysfunctions has been studied to be more prevalent in hypothyroid patients [ 98 ]. For instance, reduced percentage of diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO), force expiratory flow (FEF) and force vital capacity (FVC) was detected in individuals with hypothyroidism [ 99 , 100 ]. Under or overactive thyroid leads to diaphragmatic dysfunction [ 101 ] and weak reversible respiratory muscle [ 102 , 103 , 104 ].…”

“…It is a common worldwide disease (Maiti et al, 2015). The prevalence of hypothyroidism is 11% in India as compared to 4.6% in the United States of America and 2% in the United Kingdom (Iyer et al, 2017). Its prevalence rate in women is ten times more than in men (Sadek et al, 2017).…”

The effect of hypothyroidism on the respiratory system is proven in various studies. The study is aimed to compare Inspiratory muscle training and Aerobic training on lung functions, exercise capacity & cardiorespiratory fitness in females having hypothyroidism. This comparative study was executed on 66 subjects based on the criteria of the study, which were randomly divided into Group A & B. Subjects in Group A received Inspiratory Muscle Training. Still, subjects in Group B received Aerobic Training for four weeks. Spirometry assessed pulmonary functions, exercise capacity was evaluated by the 6-Minute Walk Test, and cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed by Step Harvard test. All measurements were taken at the baseline, on the last day of 2nd week and final day of 4th week. Independent t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. More significant improvement in terms of pulmonary functions, exercise capacity and Cardiorespiratory fitness was observed, in group B who received Aerobic training in contrast to group A that received Inspiratory muscle training. Results of this study showed Aerobic training to be more effective and beneficial in improving pulmonary functions, exercise capacity and cardiorespiratory fitness than Inspiratory Muscle Training.

“…Thyroid dysfunctions affect all organ systems and are associated with poor quality of life and increased morbidity in the long term. One of the most prominent of these problems is their impact on the respiratory system [2]. Although the incidence of benign goiter causing acute airway obstruction is around 0.6%, the diagnosis of upper airway obstruction caused by goiter may also be in the late period.…”

AIM: The primary aim of our study was to measure the effect of conventional open thyroidectomy performed for patients with multinodular goiter (MNG) on pulmonary volumes measured with respiratory function tests independent from surgical indications. A secondary aim was to determine whether there was a significant improvement in the complaints due to obstructive symptoms after MNG surgeries. METHODS: This study was conducted between October 2020 and June 2022. Patients who were hospitalized to undergo surgery for giant multinodular goiter were prospectively included in the study. Patients were questioned about complaints of pressure, hoarseness, dyspnea, sleep apnea, snoring, and dysphagia before the surgery and during the follow-up 6 months after surgery. In addition, pulmonary function tests were performed preoperatively, 48 hours after surgery and 6 months after surgery. Forced expiratory volume in 0.5 seconds forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity values in pulmonary function test (PFT) measurements were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 55 patients, 42 females and 13 males, mean age 49.54 ± 13.6 years, were included in the study. Although there was a significant decrease in clinical symptoms caused by the thyroid volume within 6 months in patients who were operated for giant MNG there was no significant change in pulmonary function tests. There was a positive correlation between the thyroid volume and nodule weight in patients with MNG. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that it is not necessary to follow up with patients without obstructive findings in preoperative pulmonary function tests with pulmonary function tests in the postoperative period.
