?:abstract
  • In patients with COVID-19, certain medical conditions could result in poorer clinical outcomes. However, the prognostic role of hypothyroidism in COVID-19 is still unknown. In the present retrospective study, we estimated the prevalence of hypothyroidism in COVID-19 admitted patients in Tehran, Iran. Among 390 COVID-19 admitted patients, 21 hypothyroid cases (5.4%) were found, in which nearly 90% were aged 50 years and older. Regarding the effect of hypothyroidism on COVID-19 mortality, 60 (15.3%) of total patients and 4 (19%) of hypothyroid patients died, and no significant difference was found between the two groups.
