Abstract
A prospective study of thyroid disease in 229 consecutive admissions to a geriatric rehabilitation ward are described. The overall prevalence of thyroid disease in this study was 6.98 percent. It was noted that clinical assessment and thyroid function in the elderly in this study were poorly correlated. The routine use of thyroid function tests in elderly people to detect cases of untreated and undetected thyroid disease is recommended.
摘要
本文描述了对一家老年康复病房连续收治的229例患者进行的甲状腺疾病前瞻性研究。本研究中甲状腺疾病的总体患病率为6.98%。值得注意的是，本研究中老年患者的临床评估与甲状腺功能之间的相关性较差。建议对老年人常规进行甲状腺功能检查，以检测未治疗和未被发现的甲状腺疾病病例。
