G E Berrios, A Leysen, C Samuel

    Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica
    |October 1, 1985

    Summary

    Psychiatric morbidity after thyroid surgery was assessed. No significant clinical or biochemical differences were found between patients who had undergone total or partial thyroidectomy, or between cases and non-cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Psychiatry
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Thyroidectomy is a common surgical procedure.
    • Post-thyroidectomy psychiatric morbidity is a potential concern.
    • Long-term effects of different thyroidectomy types on mental health require investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate psychiatric morbidity in patients approximately 7 years after thyroid surgery.
    • To compare psychiatric and biochemical profiles between total and partial thyroidectomy patients.
    • To identify differences between psychiatric cases and non-cases post-thyroidectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Screening of 30 subjects for psychiatric morbidity using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ).
    • Classification of subjects into 'cases' (GHQ positive) and 'non-cases'.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparison of plasma calcium and inorganic phosphate levels between total and partial thyroidectomy groups, and between cases and non-cases.

    • Main Results:

    • Thirteen subjects were identified as psychiatric 'cases'.
    • Total thyroidectomy 'cases' showed a trend towards lower plasma calcium and higher inorganic phosphate compared to partial thyroidectomy 'cases', but this was not statistically significant.
    • No significant clinical or biochemical differences were observed between psychiatric cases and non-cases, regardless of the surgical procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Thyroidectomy type (total vs. partial) did not appear to significantly influence long-term psychiatric morbidity or biochemical status.
    • No clear clinical or biochemical distinctions were found between patients experiencing psychiatric morbidity and those who were not, years after thyroid surgery.
