Perfil clínico-epidemiológico de pacientes pós-tireoidectomia no ambulatório de ultrassonografia do Centro de Especialidades Médicas do Cesupa: março de 2021 a março de 2022

Abstract

The thyroid is a gland responsible to produce triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) hormones, being responsible for controlling the metabolism of the human body. It can be affected by several diseases, often requiring surgical intervention. Thus, the objective of this study was to describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients admitted for thyroidectomy at the outpatient clinic of the Medical Specialties Center of CESUPA. The work was based on a survey of the medical records of patients treated within a year to collect profile data. A total of 75 medical records were surveyed and the research showed an average predominance of female profiles, with an average age of 52 years, self-declared brown, with grade I obesity, non-consumer of alcohol or tobacco, most with hair at least one comorbidity, without cervical metastasis, with total removal of the organ and the cause of surgery was papillary carcinoma. This result is important so that care policies for this disease are designed more assertively for the most affected public.
