Abstract

A possible relationship between oral lichen planus (OLP) and thyroid disease has received attention in recent years. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between OLP and thyroid diseases in Chinese ethnic patients. 192 OLP patients, 123 patients with oral lichenoid lesions (OLLs), and 162 controls were recruited in this case-control study. All participants received screening for thyroid function and underwent ultrasound. Sex and age of the patients in the three groups were matched. The prevalence of thyroid diseases in the subjects was analyzed. Using logistic regression, the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals was appraised for associations between OLP, OLL, and different types of thyroid diseases [Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), hypothyroidism, and thyroid nodule]. The prevalence of thyroid diseases in the OLP group (72.4%) and OLL group (68.3%) was higher than the control group (49.4%) with statistical significance. The OR of HT was 3.16 (1.87-5.33) for OLP, 2.09 (1.18-3.70) for OLL, while the OR of thyroid nodule was 2.31 (1.30-4.09) for OLP. Our study suggested a close relationship between OLP/OLL and HT and thyroid nodule in a Chinese population. The possible mechanism behind this association warrants further investigation.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 June 2018.
All research outputs
#21,330,066
of 26,181,776 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in endocrinology
#7,065
of 13,380 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#269,275
of 344,587 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in endocrinology
#135
of 208 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,181,776 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,380 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.2. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 344,587 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 208 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
