Abstract:

A thyroid storm is a life-threatening endocrine emergency characterized by severe hyperthyroidism and many systemic manifestations. Prompt recognition and treatment are essential for patient survival. This lecture evaluates the utility of existing diagnostic criteria and scoring systems for thyroid storm. A comprehensive literature review encompassed articles published up to December 2023. Various diagnostic criteria and scoring systems, such as the Burchâ??Wartofsky Point Scale and the Japanese Thyroid Association criteria, were critically assessed based on their sensitivity, specificity, and clinical applicability. Our findings reveal that existing diagnostic criteria and scoring systems, although valuable tools, exhibit limitations.
