Abstract

Introduction: Hyperthyroidism is a catabolic state where excess thyroid hormones cause various clinical manifestations such as weight loss, heat intolerance, palpitations, insomnia, etc. If it is not detected in time and its progress is allowed, it will give rise to various cardiovascular, neuropsychiatric and bone tissue disorders. General Objective: To identify the Morbi-mortality of patients with hyperthyroidism treated at the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital in the period from January 2013 to December 2018. Methodological design: Prevalence study or cross section (descriptive, observational, retrospective). Patients from the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital were included from January 2013 to December 2018. Prior to accepting consent, the medical records in the AS400 were reviewed to collect the data according to our variables. Results: Higher incidence in women (73.9%) with a mean of 48 years. The most common etiology is toxic multinodular goiter (29.1%), whose predominant clinical feature was weight loss (symptom) with 57.2% and fine tremor (sign) with 49.1%, the most frequent treatment are anti-thyroid drugs (68.1%) and radioactive iodine (60.3%). It was evidenced that the morbidity that is most present in hyperthyroidism is anxiety (24.7%), and finally that the associated disease that was found with the highest percentage was dyslipidemia (30.8%). Conclusions: The presence of hyperthyroidism presents mortality of 2.03% with a greater neuropsychiatric disorder.
