Value of thyroid follow-up registers
Sammanfattning
In this study from a county in southern Sweden 269 of 271 patients treated with radioiodine for hyperthyroidism over a two-year period were followed up five years later. The routine procedure at hospital clinics and primary health care centres were studied. We propose a register system to enable detection of thyroid dysfunction after radioiodine treatment and other thyroid patients in primary health care.
