Resumen
Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of thyroid function alterations and its associated factors in a group of patients from a university hospital in Colombia. Methods: From June 2007 through June 2008, 636 HIV patients were followed in order to assess the relation of thyroid function with the use of HAART. Results: The overall prevalence of hypothyroidism (TSH > 4.6 μUlZmL) was 15.5% (100/636). The association of hypothyroidism in the independent analysis showed significant relation only for the use of nevirapine (RR 1.6; CI 95% 1.1 - 2.34) and stavudine (RR 1.5; CI 95%, 1 - 2.3). Conclusions: The prevalence of hypothyroidism was surprisingly high among the studied population.
