Thyroid function analysis in 277 patients with rosacea
Objective To investigate the correlation between rosacea and abnormal thyroid function by analyzing the clinical characteristics of thyroid function.Methods A total of 277 rosacea patients from July 2019 to July 2022 in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Hospital and 280 healthy patients who underwent physical examination in the same hospital were collected as study subjects.No statistically significant differences were observed in terms of sex and age(P>0.05),indicating their comparability.General data and indicators related to thyroid function levels of all study subjects were collected from both groups,followed by a statistical analysis of the related factors.Results The serum levels of free triiodothyronine(FT3),triiodothyronine(T3)and thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH)differed significantly between the two groups(P<0.05).However,there were no significant differences observed in the levels of free thyroxine(FT4),thyroxine(T4),anti-thyroid peroxidase(TPO)and anti-thyroglobulin(TGAb)antibodies between the two groups(P>0.05).The indicators in patients with rosacea of different severity were also compared,and the results suggested that there was no significant difference in thyroid function(P>0.05).Moreover,the comparison of thyroid size between the observation group and the control group in thyroid ultrasound did not show statistically significant differences(P>0.05).The comparison of thyroid size between the mild and severe rosacea groups was also not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion The serum thyrofunction indexes in rosacea patients were within the normal range,while the levels of FT3,T3,and TSH exhibited significant differences compared to those of healthy individuals.
