The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare the prevalence of thyroid diseases between women with and without endometriosis.We established the endometriosis group according to diagnosis codes, surgery codes, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist codes using the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service—National Inpatients Sample (HIRA-NIS) from 2009 to 2011. Four controls were randomly matched to each endometriosis case. Thyroid disease cases were selected using the thyroid disease diagnosis code (E0X).Among the 1,843,451 women sampled, 5615 had endometriosis; 22,460 controls were matched to the endometriosis cases. After adjustment for age and sampling year, Graves disease was associated with endometriosis (odds ratio [OR]: 2.52; 95% CI: 1.30–4.88; P < 0.01), while hypothyroidism was not (OR: 1.17; 95% CI: 0.90–1.52; P = 0.25). Autoimmune hypothyroidism was also not associated with endometriosis (OR: 1.61; 95% CI: 0.88–2.94; P = 0.12).This study revealed an association between Graves disease and endometriosis.

“…Curiosamente, a sín-drome de Sneddon tem sido descrita em casos de tratamento com gonadotrofinas para infertilidade (9) . Presença de anticorpos anticardiolipina tem sido descrita em pacientes com endometriose (3,7) junto com outras anormalidades do sistema imune, tais como presença do FAN, anticorpos anti-ribonucleoproteína, consumo de complementos e achados clínicos de fadiga crônica, fibromialgia, artralgias e mialgias (1,2,10) . Segundo Pasoto et al (10) , pacientes com endometriose têm uma prevalência de queixas musculoesqueléticas semelhante à de pacientes com LES.…”

“…Existe considerável evidência na literatura de que a endometriose se faz acompanhar de manifestações de auto-imunidade (1)(2)(3)(4) . Casos de artrite reumatóide, lúpus eritematoso sistêmico, síndrome de Sjögren e hipotireoidismo têm sido associados a esta doença pélvica inflamatória, na qual existe um crescimento de tecido endometrial fora do útero (1) .…”

Distúrbios auto-imunes mais sutis, como presença de fator antinuclear (FAN), anticorpos anti-ribonucleoproteínas, consumo de complementos e presença de anticorpos anticardiolipinas também têm sido detectados nesta enfermidade (2) . Abrão et al (3) descreveram um aumento preferencial de anticorpos anticardiolipina do grupo IgM nestas pacientes.…”
