[Epidemiological assessment of thyrotoxicosis in a hospitalized population]

This personal survey aims to provide further epidemiological data on thyrotoxicosis in view of the fact that reports in the literature refer solely to a limited number of geographical areas. In particular an assessment was conducted on patients admitted to Pordenone Hospital with thyrotoxicosis between 1-1-1983 and 31-12-1984. The results obtained were compared with those encountered in other studies of this pathology.
