Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Prospective, observational study assessing ethnic differences in rates, diagnosis and response to standard treatment for thyrotoxicosis. Thyrotoxicosis is an overactive thyroid gland with abnormal thyroid function on blood testing.
The rates of referrals for thyrotoxicosis for Maori, Pacific Island peoples and NZ europeans/Pakeha/other Europeans will be compared to that expected based on the demographics of the Waikato Hospital catchment area. The underlying cause of the thyrotoxicosis will be determined for each group and compared. The response to standard treatment (carbimazole) will be assessed after 12 months treatment as to whether there are ethnic differences in response. Similarly response to treatment after radioactive iodine therapy will be assessed 12 months after treatment. Recruitment will occur over a 3 year period with a minimum 12 months follow up for participants.
