BACKGROUND: The need for thyroid screening of @entity1 presenting with @entity4697 ( @entity4697 ), @entity913 ( @entity913 ) or @entity148 ( @entity148 ) remains uncertain. METHODS: We examined thyroid histories and serum testing in 169 @entity1 , 92 with @entity4697 , 48 with @entity913 , and 29 with @entity148 . Combined prevalence rates of @entity1378 and @entity1375 were compared with expected rates (2.7%) derived from the population based Whickham Survey. Data from previously published studies were also compared with these expected rates. RESULTS: In our sample, only 2/169 @entity1 had @entity1374 detected by serum testing, but 5/169 [1/92 (1%) with @entity4697 , 1/48 (2%) with @entity913 , and 3/29 (10%) with @entity148 ], all currently euthyroid, reported a history of @entity1374 . The rates were statistically significant only for @entity148 (10.4%; z = 2.56, p = 0.01). However, combining prior @entity4697 studies that examined both thyroid history and test results with our data also suggests significantly elevated rates of @entity1374 (6.5%; z = 4.69, p < 0.0001). LIMITATIONS: As with previous data, the 95% confidence interval for our findings is broad, reflecting the instability of low rates of illness in relatively small samples. Further, methods for obtaining thyroid histories and tests were not uniform. CONCLUSIONS: Despite relatively low yields on serum testing, lifetime prevalence of @entity1374 does appear elevated for @entity148 and @entity4697 , with minimal data addressing this issue for @entity913 . The data support the need to query @entity148 and @entity4697 @entity1 regarding thyroid history and perform serum testing in those without prior testing.
