Thyroid 1.1 Rationale
A register is a prerequisite for monitoring patients with hypothyroidism. Many
patients will have been diagnosed at some time in the past and the details of
the diagnostic criteria may not be available. For this reason the patient population
should consist of those patients taking thyroxine with a recorded diagnosis
of hypothyroidism. The most effective method for identifying the patient population
would be a computer search for repeat prescribing of thyroxine with a subsequent
check of the records to confirm the clinical diagnosis.
Thyroid 1.2 Reporting and verification
The practice reports the number of patients on its hypothyroidism disease register
and the number of patients on its hypothyroidism disease register as a proportion
of total list size.
Verification – may require a comparison of the expected prevalence with the
reported prevalence.
