To test if there is an association between hypothyroidism and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and the utility of routine study of thyroid function in these patients.
The study was conducted in a case-control fashion. Seventy-five consecutive patients with a previous diagnosis of POAG and 75 control patients were prospectively evaluated for hypothyroidism. The levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone and free thyroxin were measured.
Hypothyroidism was revealed in only 2 patients with previous diagnosis of POAG (2.67%) and 3 patients of the control group (4%).
As we have not been able to demonstrate the previously reported relationship between hypothyroidism and POAG, we cannot recommend the systematic screening for hypothyroidism in patients with POAG.
检验甲状腺功能减退症与原发性开角型青光眼(POAG)之间是否存在关联,以及对这些患者进行甲状腺功能常规检查的实用性。
本研究采用病例对照研究方式。对75例既往诊断为POAG的连续患者和75例对照患者进行前瞻性甲状腺功能减退症评估。测量促甲状腺激素和游离甲状腺素水平。
既往诊断为POAG的患者中仅2例(2.67%)及对照组3例(4%)被发现有甲状腺功能减退症。
由于我们未能证实先前报道的甲状腺功能减退症与POAG之间的关系,因此不能建议对POAG患者进行系统性甲状腺功能减退症筛查。
