“…Female gender is always more prevalent in thyroid disorders as 87.3% of the studied sample were females, which is, in fact, consistent with prior published articles [ 8 , 5 ]. Furthermore, young patients tend to be diagnosed with thyroid disorders more than elderly as the mean age in the current study was 46 years, which is consistent with three studies done in Saudi Arabia [ 10 , 11 , 8 ]. For the type of surgery that was preformed, total thyroidectomy was the most commonly sought surgical intervention which is similar to what was found in Milan D. Jovanovic et al study [ 12 ].…”

“…The sample size was calculated using OpenEpi, assuming the total targeted population is 3,000,000 individuals, and based on a previous study on the Saudi population that concluded the prevalence of hyperthyroidism was 2.8% [ 8 ]. The calculated sample size required was 346 individuals at an approximately 93.5% confidence limit.…”

Introduction Hyperthyroidism is one of the primary dysfunctional thyroid diseases that results from abnormally high thyroid hormone secretion. It leads to metabolic derangement that manifests as heightened vital functions and metabolism and hyperdynamic blood circulation. Hyperthyroidism jeopardizes one’s quality of life and hampers the patient’s job performance. The disease is chronic but diagnosable and treatable and can be kept under control medically. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of suspected hyperthyroidism cases among a population sample in Jeddah city by using Wayne’s scoring and delineation of factors associated with the disease. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study design was used. A total of 346 participants were conveniently selected from two shopping malls in Jeddah city during a five-day health awareness campaign. The data were collected by certified physicians, according to Wayne’s score inventory. Results The study included 194 women (56.1%) and 152 men (43.9%). The participants’ ages ranged from 16 to 56 years. The Wayne’s scores showed 80.6% were euthyroid, 18.2% equivocal, and 1.2% have hyperthyroidism. Bronchial asthma was significantly associated with hyperthyroidism in men, while obesity was significantly associated with hyperthyroidism in women. Age, gender, level of education, and family history of chronic diseases, including thyroid disorders, were not significantly associated with hyperthyroidism. Conclusions Wayne’s scoring for hyperthyroidism, which is a noninvasive tool, in addition to its detection of hyperthyroidism cases, can predict patients with equivocal results or those that might be subclinical for further medical assessment and follow-up. A Wayne’s score can give the results of hyperthyroidism comparable to the results obtained by biochemical investigations. This tool is not in common use, but it is quite useful and should be put into broader usage.

“…Between the ages of 20 and 50, it is the most frequent cause of hyperthyroidism, accounting for 60%-80% of all cases and is more common in females [ 2 ]. The reported prevalence is 0.8% in the USA, 1.3% in Europe, and 2.8% in Saudi Arabia [ 3 , 4 ]. It occurs with the same frequency in Caucasians, Hispanics, and Asians but at lower rates in African Americans [ 5 ].…”

Graves' disease (GD) is an immune-mediated condition related to high thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin levels. Here, we present a rare case of recurrent thyrotoxicosis that developed in a thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) and the residual thyroid tissue in a 46-year-old female following subtotal thyroidectomy. In 2005, she was diagnosed with GD causing thyrotoxicosis and treated with subtotal thyroidectomy. In 2022, she was seen at our clinic with a neck swelling gradually growing in size over the last 10 years. On examination, the mass was found to be moving with tongue protrusion. She was on thyroxin 100 mcg daily, and the dose was reduced gradually until she was maintained on no therapy for hypothyroidism and was still thyrotoxic. The combined clinical, laboratory thyroid scintigraphy and ultrasonographic features favored early developing recurrent Graves' disease in the thyroid residual and TGDC. She was started on carbimazole and was referred for surgery. Our case represents a rare occurrence of recurrent GD in the thyroid residual and TGDC.

Prevalence of Thyroids Dysfunction among Saudi Adult Males and Females from (June– September 2016)

Abstract: Background: Thyroid disorders are amongst the most prevalent of medical conditions. Their manifestations vary considerably from area to area and are determined principal by the availability of iodine in the diet.
