Filter by:Many cases of subacute thyroiditis (SAT) have been described related to SARS-CoV-2 infection, but no prospective data about follow-up is known. This prospective, longitudinal, 3-year, multicentre study is aimed at exploring clinical peculiarities and outcome of SAT in relation to SARS-CoV-2 infection, ascertained with antibody dosage. All patients receiving SAT diagnosis from November 2020 to May 2022 were enrolled. Multicentre study. Data about anamnesis, physical examination, blood tests (TSH, freeT4, freeT3, thyroglobulin, anti-thyroid antibodies, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, complete blood count), and thyroid ultrasound were collected. At baseline, the presence of IgG against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein or nucleocapside was investigated. Patients were evaluated after 1, 3, 6, 12 months.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of short-term versus 6-week prednisone in the treatment of moderate-to-severe subacute thyroiditis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the short-term medication regimen reduce glucocorticoid side effects while achieving similar efficacy as the guideline treatment group? Patients with moderate-to-severe symptoms were randomly assigned to receive either 30 mg/day prednisone for 1 week, followed by 1 week of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or the conventional 6-week prednisone therapy in the control group.
The main focus of the study is the assessment of hormonal function in the course of COVID-19 infection with special regard for trends predicting clinical events defined as primary endpoints of the study.
Efficiency and Safety Study of Short-term Prednisone to Treat Moderate and Severe Subacute Thyroiditis The investigators hypothesize that less adverse reactions will be observed, comparing with the guidelines recommend. The recurrence rate, adrenal insufficiency, temporary and permanent hypothyroidism aren't significant difference.
