RESUMO
A new thyrotoxicosis index (pointer) is calculated according to frequency of signs and symptoms in a well documented population of 189 thyrotoxicosis and pseudo thyrotoxicosis cross maintained patients. Applied to a computerized population of 3 596 thyroid complained patients, this index provides four groups. Index greater than equal to 8,5 : thyrotoxicosis is quite sure (92.5%), 8,5 less than equal to index less than equal to 5 : 3 of 5 patients are thyrotoxicosic 5 less than index less than -- 1 : 1 of 5 patients is thyrotoxicosic (rough thyrotoxicosis, index less than equal to -- 1 : thyrotoxicosis can be refuted (98%).
