Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: A "Double-Edged Sword" in Thyroid Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence of thyroid carcinoma (TC) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) has been increasing dramatically over the past decades. We investigated the relationship between HT and TC.

Methods

We followed the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines for carrying out and reporting this meta-analysis. The literature from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2020, regardless of region and publication type, was searched comprehensively in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. After careful selection and data extraction, the pooled odds ratio of various clinical characteristics in 39 studies were calculated. Publication bias was analyzed using funnel plots.

Results

Meta-analysis of 39 original research articles
