Abstract


The study aimed to assess the impact of clinical pharmacists on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and risk evaluation of thyroid patients at tertiary care hospitals. Worldwide, thyroid disease affects approximately 5% of the population, with an estimated 42 million cases in India. The study, conducted at Manipal Hospitals, Tadepalli, involved 200 thyroid cases and utilized the THY-PRO 39 questionnaire. Results indicated a higher prevalence of thyroid disorders in female patients, especially postmenopausal women, and hypothyroidism was the most common symptom. The research concluded that all patients had good HRQOL and provided evidence to support the prevalence of thyroid disorders in the female population.
