About this study

Official title: Thyroid Disorders in Malaysian: A Nationwide Multicentre Study

This will be a population based study looking at the prevalence of thyroid disorders in Malaysia (including hypo- and hyperthyroidism, subclinical hypo- or hyperthyroidism) and its association with different ethnicity and iodine status. The study will also look at genetic susceptibility for autoimmune thyroid disorders in the Malaysian population

General hypotheses:

The prevalence of thyroid disorders in Malaysia is 10% for hypothyroidism and 2% for hyperthyroidism Hypo- and hyperthyroidism is associated with iodine status in our population There are different susceptibility gene for autoimmune thyroid disorder in different ethnicity in our population

Read the detailed description

This will be a cross-sectional population based study involving Malaysian adults (aged 18 year old and above). Cluster sampling will be used to select respondents that will be representative of the Malaysian population. Selected respondent will be interviewed, anthropometric measurement taken, blood and urine sample taken.

Blood will be analyzed for thyroid function (thyroxine, triiodothyronine and thyroid stimulating hormone), autoantibodies (anti-thyroperoxidase and anti-thyroglobulin). Urine will be analyzed for urinary iodine.

Those diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disorders with strong family history of thyroid disorders (multiplex multi-generation family involvement) will have their blood sent for whole exome sequencing and linkage analysis done to identify possible susceptible gene for autoimmune thyroid disorders

Respondents detected to have hypo- or hyper- and subclinical hypo- or hyperthyroidism will be referred to their nearest health centre for further evaluation and treatment appropriate for their condition.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypothyroidism and Subclinical Hypothyroidism, run by International Islamic University Malaysia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with abnormal thyroid function (time frame: Day 0). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Oct 2016.
