Abstract
Background and objective
Posthemithyroidectomy hypothyroidism (PHH) is a relatively common complication (22%–30%) for which we have no published information from our country. The objective of the study is to determine the prevalence of PHH and evaluate its predictive markers by comparing patients who had euthyroidism with those who had hyperthyroidism before hemithyroidectomy.
Patients and method
Retrospective observational cross-sectional study on 106 patients, 88 euthyroid before hemithyroidectomy and 18 hyperthyroid.
This is the first study in our country that demonstrates a prevalence of PHH above the average in euthyroid patients, which is slightly higher and more intense in hyperthyroid patients, and that recognizes the classic predictive markers in euthyroid patients but highlights a novel predictive marker marker in hyperthyroid patients, useful to assess a different risk of PHH when indicating hemithyroidectomy and to establish closer control of postoperative hormonal evolution.
期刊介绍:
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición, SEEN) and the Spanish Society of Diabetes (Sociedad Española de Diabetes, SED), and was founded in 1954.
The aim of the journal is to improve knowledge and be a useful tool in practice for clinical and laboratory specialists, trainee physicians, researchers, and nurses interested in endocrinology, diabetes, nutrition and related disciplines.
It is an international journal published in Spanish (print and online) and English (online), covering different fields of endocrinology and metabolism, including diabetes, obesity, and nutrition disorders, as well as the most relevant research produced mainly in Spanish language territories.
The quality of the contents is ensured by a prestigious national and international board, and by a selected panel of specialists involved in a rigorous peer review. The result is that only manuscripts containing high quality research and with utmost interest for clinicians and professionals related in the field are published.
The Journal publishes Original clinical and research articles, Reviews, Special articles, Clinical Guidelines, Position Statements from both societies and Letters to the editor.
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición can be found at Science Citation Index Expanded, Medline/PubMed and SCOPUS.
