Introduction: Diseases of the thyroid gland are common in adults and the prevalence is increasing in all parts of the world. Ethnicity and geographical locations also affect the prevalence of thyroid disorders along with the age, sex and iodine-intake by the different populations. The objective of our study is to examine the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in female Saudi adults. It is a quantitative, observational, cross-sectional study involving 199 female Saudi adults visiting the King Khalid University Hospitals, Riyadh. Recruitment of subjects was done by random sampling.

“…This finding was congruent with Al-Geffari. [15] who mentioned that diabetic patients have susceptibility to different types of thyroid dysfunction. In the same context, Vargas et al [16] stated that thyroid hormones affect the development and/or maintenance of various forms of arterial hypertension.…”

Objective: The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of teaching patients stretching neck exercises on pain and disability of the neck following thyroidectomy. Methods: Research design: a randomized controlled trial was utilized. Setting: the study was conducted at the general surgery ward and outpatient surgery clinic-Assiut university hospital. Sample: 60 adult male and female patients scheduled to undergo thyroidectomy and are willing to take part in this study. Tools of data collection: Tool (I): Patient assessment sheet, Tool II: Neck pain and disability index questionnaire. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between both groups regarding their socio-demographic variables and medical data while there was a highly statistical significant difference between both groups regarding pain in the neck and disability 7 days post thyroidectomy. Conclusions: Teaching and applying neck stretching exercises significantly improved the neck condition of patients in the study group regarding pain and disability of the neck. Nurses working in the general surgery department must include the stretching neck exercises in care and follow-up protocols of patients undergoing total thyroidectomy and to use the validated neck pain and disability questionnaire in monitoring patient's condition.

“…This is in accordance with a recent study done in Saudi Arabia, where the incidence was 28.5% as compared to controls. 18 It has been observed from earlier studies that T2DM patients with SCH and hypothyroidism are more likely to develop complications such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, peripheral arterial disease and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. 19 In a systematic review and meta-analysis, it has been noticed that the prevalence of SCH was higher in patients with T2DM as compared to healthy controls (OR = 1.93); and the similar trend was observed with studies focused on overt hypothyroidism.…”

Prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and its association with controlled and uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus in northern Andhra Pradesh population: a retrospective study

2017

Background: The two important endocrinopathies, diabetes mellitus and thyroid dysfunction are interrelated to each other where the correlation is poorly understood. The thyroid dysfunction is more frequent in diabetics than general population. The present study was aimed to know the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its association with controlled and uncontrolled T2DM.Methods: A retrospective study of 600 T2DM patients between 13-60 years of age with known thyroid status were included and the following parameters were examined: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood sugar (FBS), HbA1C, free triiodothyronine (fT3), free tetraiodothyronine (fT4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).Results: The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in T2DM patients was found to be 26.5% whereas 9% in healthy controls. Significantly elevated levels of FBS, HbA1C and TSH were observed whereas the levels of fT3, fT4 were found to be low in patients when compared to controls. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in diabetics (both controlled and uncontrolled) was more prevalent (15%) than it was found in healthy controls (5%). Similarly, overt hypothyroidism was also found to be high in diabetic patients (6%) as compared to healthy controls (2%). Significant difference (p <0.05) in the levels of TSH was found between group I (Controlled T2DM) and II (uncontrolled T2DM patients), also between groups II and III (Controls). Group II patients were found to have significant low levels of fT3 as compared to other two groups (Group I and III) (p<0.005).Conclusions: As SCH is more frequent in T2DM diabetes mellitus and untreated SCH patients have higher rate of complications, periodical screening is advised for thyroid dysfunction to prevent micro vascular and cardiovascular complications.
