[Modalities of detection of abnormal blood level of thyroid hormones in hospitalized aged patients].
In a continuous series of 3836 patients over 60 years old, 24.1% have abnormal tests, 1.28% present hyperthyroidism and 1.98% hypothyroidism. Screening with TSH alone and T4 if abnormality, appears as the most helpful and costless method in order to detect thyroid dysfunction in hospitalised elderly patients.
