Abstract
In patients with COVID‐19, certain medical conditions could result in poorer clinical outcomes. However, the prognostic role of hypothyroidism in COVID‐19 is still unknown. In the present retrospective study, we estimated the prevalence of hypothyroidism in COVID‐19 admitted patients in Tehran, Iran. Among 390 COVID‐19 admitted patients, 21 hypothyroid cases (5.4%) were found, in which nearly 90% were aged 50 years and older. Regarding the effect of hypothyroidism on COVID‐19 mortality, 60 (15.3%) of total patients and 4 (19%) of hypothyroid patients died, and no significant difference was found between the two groups.Keywords
