ABSTRACT

Objective:

Recent investigations have suggested a correlation between thyroid diseases, particularly hypothyroidism (HT), and oral lichen planus (OLP).

Objective:

This study aimed to assess the frequency of OLP in HT patients. Material and

Methods:

This analytical descriptive study evaluated 100 HT patients including 94 females and 6 males, who were selected by convenience sampling. The subjects were clinically examined for OLP. The mean age of patients was 42.49±1.29 years. Also, 100 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were examined. The data were analyzed using chi-square test and Fisher's exact test via SPSS.

Results:

Of all, 14 (14%) HT patients (12 females and 2 males) had OLP while only one case of OLP was found in the control group. The difference between the two groups in the frequency of OLP was significant (P=0.001). The odds ratio (OR) of developing OLP was calculated to be 16.11 in HT patients. Reticular form was the most common type of OLP in patients (50%). The buccal mucosa was the most common site of involvement (92.85%). The mean age of patients with OLP was 42.93±1.29 years with a median of 46±1.29 years in HT group.

Conclusion:

The frequency of OLP was significantly higher in HT patients such that HT patients had higher odds of developing OLP by 16 folds. (AU)
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Investigações recentes sugeriram uma correlação entre doenças da tireoide, particularmente hipotireoidismo (HT), e líquen plano oral (LPO).

Objetivo:

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a frequência de LPO em pacientes com HT. Material e

Métodos:

Este estudo descritivo analítico avaliou 100 pacientes com HT, incluindo 94 mulheres e 6 homens, selecionados por amostragem por conveniência. Os indivíduos foram examinados clinicamente para LPO. A média de idade dos pacientes foi de 42,49 ± 1,29 anos. Além disso, foram examinados 100 controles saudáveis pareados por idade e gênero. Os dados foram analisados usando o teste do qui-quadrado e o teste exato de Fisher via SPSS.

Resultados:

De todos, 14 (14%) pacientes com HT (12 mulheres e 2 homens) tiveram LPO, enquanto apenas um caso de LPO foi encontrado no grupo controle. A diferença entre os dois grupos na frequência de LPO foi significativa (P = 0,001). A razão de probabilidade de desenvolvimento de LPO foi calculado em 16,11 em pacientes com HT. A forma reticular foi o tipo mais comum de LPO nos pacientes (50%). A mucosa bucal foi o local de acometimento mais comum (92,85%). A média de idade dos pacientes com LPO foi de 42,93 ± 1,29 anos, com mediana de 46 ± 1,29 anos no grupo HT.

Conclusão:

A frequência de LPO foi significativamente maior em pacientes com HT, de modo que os pacientes com HT tinham maior chance de desenvolver LPO em 16 vezes. (AU)
