Abstract

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of specialized standardized follow-up manual for postoperative patients with papillillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Methods A total of 200 PTMC patients were randomly divided into study group and control group each 100 cases. Both groups received specialized health education during hospitalization. The patients in study group got specialized follow-up after discharge using the standardized manual of follow-up. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) should be suppressed to 0.1 mU/L for patients with PTMC in both groups postoperatively. Contents of detailed specialized follow-up included diet, medical treatment and exercise. Outcome of follow-up was compared between 2 groups for TSH detection and neck ultrasound examination. Compliance rate was involved low-iodine diet, Euthyrox medication and exercise. Results No recurrent PTMC was found 3 months later postoperatively with ultrasound examination for both groups. Values of TSH in study group were significantly lower than those in control group after 1 month of operation (P< 0.05). There was statistical significant difference in regular follow-up rate, adherent rate of low iodine diet, Euthyrox medication and exercise between 2 groups (P< 0.05). Conclusions The application of specialized follow-up manual in postoperative patients is helpful to improve compliance for treatment and the effect of TSH inhibition.
