About

Observational single-center prospective and retrospective, nonpharmacological, spontaneous cohort study.

Full description

The study is observational single-center prospective and retrospective, nonpharmacological, spontaneous cohort study. This study will be offered to any patient with thyroid pathology (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism/thyrotoxicosis, benign thyroid nodule, and thyroid carcinoma) followed by our Center with a minimum 3-month follow-up. In the retrospective phase, patients in whom thyroid pathology was diagnosed from 01/01/1995 until the approval of this study will be enrolled, while in the prospective phase those diagnosed from the time of the approval of this study to the next 10 years will be enrolled. In both phases, each patient will be followed for a maximum duate of 20 years.

Patients participating in the study will not undergo any procedure (laboratory or instrumental examination, examination or treatment) that is beyond the scope of normal daily clinical practice. Likewise, the clinical variables that will be collected for the study are those that are commonly collected by the physician in daily clinical practice.
