Abstract:
A total of 100 patients with subacute thyroiditis hospitalized from January 2011 to October 2012 were recruited.Each received glucocorticoid treatment for 8 weeks and there was a 2-month follow-up period after drug withdrawal.After treatment,the short-term recurrence rate was 34% (34/100).If thyroid ultrasound was abnormal,the recurrence rate was 52% (30/58).And it was significantly higher than 10% recurrence rate for those with normal thyroid ultrasound (4/42,x2 =9.67,P < 0.01).The recurrence rate of different erythrocyte sedimentation rate groups of 40-100 mm/1 h and > 100 mm/1 h was 37% (22/60) and 30% (12/40) respectively (P > 0.05).
