UNASSIGNED: 1. To explore and examine the association between the severity of hypothyroidism and the occurrence of pericardial effusion. 2. To compare clinical characteristics and demographic factors with varying degrees of hypothyroidism severity and pericardial effusion.
UNASSIGNED: Tertiary care hospital and cross-sectional study using a pretested, semistructured questionnaire and echocardiography.
UNASSIGNED: The cross-sectional study encompassed a cohort of 60 patients diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
UNASSIGNED: Epi-info version 7.0 and Open epi version 3.1, Chi-square, mean, and standard deviation were used.
UNASSIGNED: There were 16 male participants, accounting for 26.7% of the total, and 44 female participants, constituting 73.3% of the cohort. The participants\' average age was 35.5 years. Based on TSH levels, the severity of hypothyroidism in the study was classified into three categories: mild (33.4%), moderate (43.3%), and severe (23.3%). The most common symptoms were lethargy, weight gain, and cold intolerance. Also, an association between the severity of hypothyroidism and pericardial effusion was noted.
UNASSIGNED: This research established a noteworthy correlation between hypothyroidism severity and pericardial effusion incidence that is statistically significant. Nevertheless, no significant associations were detected with demographic factors or pulse rate. These results underscore the significance of monitoring and addressing pericardial effusion in patients with moderate-to-severe hypothyroidism. Further investigations are warranted to extend these findings.
■1.探讨甲状腺功能减退症严重程度与心包积液发生的关系。2.比较不同程度甲状腺功能减退症和心包积液的临床特征和人口学因素。
■三级护理医院和横断面研究使用预先测试,半结构化问卷和超声心动图。
■横断面研究包括60例诊断为甲状腺功能减退的患者。
■Epi-info版本7.0和Openepi版本3.1,卡方,意思是,并使用标准偏差。
■有16名男性参与者,占总数的26.7%,和44名女性参与者,占队列的73.3%。参与者的平均年龄为35.5岁。根据TSH水平,研究中甲状腺功能减退症的严重程度分为三类:轻度(33.4%),中等(43.3%),严重(23.3%)。最常见的症状是嗜睡,体重增加,冷不容忍。此外,研究发现甲状腺功能减退症的严重程度与心包积液之间存在关联.
■这项研究确定了甲状腺功能减退严重程度与心包积液发生率之间的显著相关性,具有统计学意义。然而,未检测到与人口统计学因素或脉搏率的显著关联.这些结果强调了监测和解决中度至重度甲状腺功能减退症患者心包积液的重要性。有必要进一步调查以扩展这些发现。
