Overview
Prognosis is generally good, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of postpartum thyroiditis, PPT usually develop in the twevle months after devilry , abortion or miscarriage of fetus and start with symptoms depending on clinical course that it follows.
- There are three clinical courses:
- Classic triphasic: 25% of patients of PPT come to clinical attention with symptoms of hyperthyroidism followed by hypothyroidism and then euthyroidisum.[1]
- Biphasic hyperthyroidism: 32 % patients of PPT develops symptoms of hyperthyroidism followed recovery.[1]
- Biphasic hypothyroidism: 43 % patients of PPT develops symptoms of hypothyroidism followed recovery .[1]
- If left untreated, 25-30% of patients with PPT may progress to develop hypothyroidism[2]
- Patients who are anti-TPO antibodies positive,HLA-DRW9 and/or HLA-DRB51 [3] , and developed hypothyroid phase of PPT, are at increased risk of developing permanent hypothyroidism.[4]
Complications
- Common complications of include:
- Hypothyroidism
- Postpartum depression
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
