Hospital's thyroid disease registry 80-98

After completing the Hospital’s Thyroid Diseases Registry, our aim was to analyse any regular scheme of thyroid disease appearance, thus giving us powerful predictive mechanisms for future patients. We used biopsy findings that were obtained after thyroid surgery from 1980 to 1998. Other relevant clinical data of each patient was also added. Total of 3815 patients’ data is present in our registry. Out of those 2403 (63%) were patients with non-tumour disorders, while 1412 (37%) patients had thyroid tumours. Goiter is the most common, total of 2021 patients with female to male ratio (F/M) of 6.8. Morbus Basedow was found in 156 patients with F/M 8.1 and average age at diagnosis 39.8 years. 138 patients had Hashimoto thyroiditis, average age 48.4 and F/M of high 14.3. Adenomas were most common in patients with tumours making total of 979 patients with papillary cancer as the most common with 264 cases, followed by follicular cancer with 72, medullary with 35 and anaplastic with 30 cases. Furthermore, we compared the average age for non- tumour disorders in two 2-year periods, using years 80/81 and 97/98. Valuable data obtained from the registry will enable better prediction of thyroid diseases and thus make prevention or cure more efficient, especially when combined with other clinical data (levels of calcitonin, thyroglobulin etc.).
