A systematic review and meta-analysis of the etiology and treatment patterns of thyrotoxicosis in Africa.
Introduction: Thyrotoxicosis is one of the most common endocrine disorders seen in clinical practice. This study aims to determine the etiologies and treatment modalities of thyrotoxicosis in Africa.
Areas covered: The study design is a systematic review with a meta-analysis. Medical databases and the gray literature were systematically searched following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies done in Africa on the etiology and treatment of thyrotoxicosis were selected.
Expert opinion: In Africa, it is still believed that autoimmune diseases, generally, are not as common as what is seen in the western world. The frequency of Graves' disease is reportedly lower in Africa. The treatment of thyrotoxicosis depends on the cause. Therefore, it is of substantial importance to establish the etiology following the diagnosis of the clinical syndrome.
期刊介绍：
Implicated in a plethora of regulatory dysfunctions involving growth and development, metabolism, electrolyte balances and reproduction, endocrine disruption is one of the highest priority research topics in the world. As a result, we are now in a position to better detect, characterize and overcome the damage mediated by adverse interaction with the endocrine system. Expert Review of Endocrinology and Metabolism (ISSN 1744-6651), provides extensive coverage of state-of-the-art research and clinical advancements in the field of endocrine control and metabolism, with a focus on screening, prevention, diagnostics, existing and novel therapeutics, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology and epidemiology.
