Thiyagarajan Arulmani , Platzbecker Katharina , Ittermann Till , Volzke Henry , Haug Ulrike

Background: Given the general lack of descriptive epidemiological studies on thyroid storm, we aimed to estimate the incidence rate and case fatality of thyroid storm in Germany based on a large claims database.Methods: Using the German Pharmacoepidemiological Research Database (GePaRD) we identified patients with at least one inpatient discharge diagnosis of thyroid storm (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems,...

Objective: The role of smoking in the pathogenesis of thyroid enlargement is currently under debate. The aim of this paper was to investigate the role of smoking on thyroid volume change and incident goiter for different age-strata in a region with normalized iodine supply.Methods: The population-based Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) compromised 3300 subjects with complete 5-year examination follow-up. Data from 2484 participants without known thyroi...

Background and Objective: Thyroid function reference ranges are statistically defined by the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles, which do not account for potential risk of clinical outcomes. We aimed to define the optimal ranges of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4), based on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality.Methods: We performed an individual-participant data analysis and identified prospecti...
