Diagnosis and Management of Hypothyroidism: Addressing the Knowledge-Action Gaps.
Advances in Therapy 2018 October
UNLABELLED: Hypothyroidism presents a large epidemiological burden in India. As a result of subtle and nonspecific clinical symptoms and signs, the condition often goes undiagnosed and is not adequately treated when it is detected. There is heterogeneity in the diagnostic and treatment approaches to hypothyroidism. As a result of the physiological changes in thyroid hormones with age and illness, it is important to tailor the diagnosis and management of this condition in specific populations including pregnant women, infants, children, geriatric patients, and those with comorbid conditions. Enhanced understanding and education of physicians and patients can help to improve the outcomes of treatment in hypothyroidism which should be focused on patient-centered care. Policies and reforms should be crafted and implemented at the national level to curb public health challenges of hypothyroidism. This publication summarizes the recommendations of a national advisory board meeting to identify and bridge the gaps in understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism in India. As a complement to clinical judgment, these recommendations will foster the diagnosis and management of hypothyroidism in the community and clinics for the benefit of the patients.
