Abstract

    Hyperthyroidism is a group of illnesses characterized by excessive thyroid hormone production and secretion by the thyroid gland, resulting in thyrotoxicosis, a hypermetabolic state. Diffuse toxic goiter (Graves disease), toxic multinodular goiter (Plummer disease),and toxic adenoma are the most frequent types of hyperthyroidism. Thyroid hormone levels are high in thyrotoxicosis, with or without increased thyroid hormone production.[1,2] Graves disease is the most frequent kind of hyperthyroidism in the United States, accounting for 60-80% of thyrotoxicosis cases. During a 20-year period, the annual incidence of Graves disease was determined to be 0.5 cases per 1000 population, with the peak occurrence in adults aged (20-40) years.[13] Toxic multinodular goiter (which accounts for 15-20% of thyrotoxicosis) is more common in iodine-deficient areas. Most people in the United States have enough iodine, while the incidence of lethal multinodular goiter in the US population is lower than in iodine-deficient are as of the world. Thyrotoxicosisis caused by toxic adenoma in (3-5) percent of patients.
Methods: Descriptive, Cross-sectional study Retrospective study The study took place in Thiqar governate , study begun at 14thof march 2022 and ended at 11thof may 2022. The population of Thiqar about 2 million [20] , The study includes the students and staff from Thiqar university, children younger than 15 and elderly above 70 were excluded. Sample size is 430 given by the supervisor, collected through Google form–based Questionnaires published in the official websites of colleges of Thiqar University.
Analysis : Qualitative data had been analyzed by using SPSS (statistical package for social science),were Reliability, frequency, percentage and chi square had been calculated.
Results: A 430 patients suffer from thyroid disease, were recruited in this study that focus on different aspects of assessment, that include their sociodemography clinical character that scored according to Binned score.
