“…The thyroid disorders are more common in female than male. [10,11,12] It may due to hormonal change, such as during or after pregnancy or after menopause. Sex hormones, especially estrogen and prolactin, have an important role in modulating the immune system and may impact autoimmune disease.…”

Introduction: Thyroid dysfunction stands as the second most common endocrine disease after diabetes mellitus. National reports on its prevalence are meagre. Hence, the study was conducted with the objective of exploring the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction among hospital patients of hilly region of Nepal. Methods: A hospital based, retrospective, analytical study was conducted in the department of biochemistry, Lumbini Medical College Teaching Hospital (LMCTH) from 15th February 2017 to 30th April 2017. The hospital records of patients from March 2014 to mid-February 2017 with suspected thyroid dysfunction and presented from different departments of hospital were reviewed. Data was entered in Excel 2007 and analysis was done with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-21). Necessary descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was done. P value less than 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. Results: Out of 3136 subjects, 601 (19.2%) were male and 2535 (80.8%) were female with F:M ratio of 4.2:1. Female were more likely to be suspected of thyroid dysfunction. Mean age of male was 39.28 years (SD = 19.01) and that of female was 39.60 years (SD = 14.63). Prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was 23.31%. Correlation of log10 TSH with age showed a significant relation (r = -0.05, p = 0.003). Age group and thyroid function category among female patients was found to be statistically significant (p = 0.01). Conclusion: The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was high in Tansen region, a hilly mid-west Nepal. Female above 40 yrs (post reproductive age) and male above 60 yrs (elderly group) were more prone to thyroid disorders. Also, the study revealed that younger people are more likely to be euthyroid whereas as age advances, people are likely to be either hypothyroid or hyperthyroid. These findings can be a guide for elaborative research in thyroid disorder in future.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most commonly performed cardiac procedure and thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism) are the most widespread endocrine diseases. Till date, there is no Indian study pertaining to prevalence of thyroid disorders among subjects undergoing CABG. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of thyroid disorders among subjects undergoing CABG in a tertiary care hospital. This is a prospective observational hospital-based study having 560 subjects who underwent CABG. Pre-operative thyroid tests were conducted of all the subjects. On the basis of this test, subjects were divided into groups, “Euthyroid” (normal thyroid status) and Thyroid subjects, that is, Subclinical Hypothyroidism (SCHypo), Overt Hypothyroidism (OVHypo), Subclinical Hyperthyroidism (SCHyper), and Overt Hyperthyroidism (OVHyper), based on thyroid function test. The proportion of the disorders was calculated. The study population included 560 subjects (Males: 457 females: 103). The overall prevalence of thyroid function abnormalities was 41.07%. The SCHypo was the most pervasive thyroid disorder (33.75%), followed by SCHyper (4.28%), OVHypo (2.32%), and OVHyper (0.7%). Highest number of thyroid subject (57.8%) was in 40–59 age group and lowest (0.86%) in 18–39. Thyroid was more prevalent among females (45/103) than in males (185/457). Among subjects undergoing CABG, SCHypo was most common followed by SCHyper, OVHypo, and OVHyper. Among the subjects undergoing CABG, maximum thyroid cases are in the age group of 60–79 with female preponderance.

Background: Thyroid diseases are considered most significant public health dilemma worldwide with global prevalence of 5%-10%. In Pakistan, the hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism prevalence is 4.1% and 5.1%, respectively. Thyroid disorder is a common, identifiable and simply curable, but if not diagnosed or left untreated can have intense adverse effects. Aim: To evaluate the incidence of thyroid diseases in local population of Lahore. Study design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: It is carried out among patients visiting Arif Memorial Teaching Hospital, Lahore. A total of 257 patients aged between 18 to 65 years with clinical features suggestive of thyroid disorders from October 2021 to November 2022 were included. Patients data were collected through questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Results: Among 257 respondents, 64.2% were females and the mean age was 41.93±11.522 years. 33.9% respondents had family history of thyroid, 23.8% diagnosed with hypothyroidism, 12.8% with hyperthyroidism and 35.4% with subclinical hypothyroidism while 28% respondents were euthyroid. The association between thyroid disease and age was found statistically significant (P=0.000) but insignificant (P=0.351) between thyroid disease and gender. Conclusion: Study concluded that incidence of thyroid diseases was 72% in study population. Keywords: Incidence, thyroid disease, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, euthyroidism.
