10.7 Hypothyroidism
10.7.1 Diagnosed and Modelled Prevalence
As part of the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), general practices compile
disease and medical condition registers. From these registers, the prevalence of these
various conditions can be estimated. However, there may be a high proportion of
patients who have the disease or medical condition, but it is undiagnosed and the
patient is not included on the register(s). Furthermore, the figures are unadjusted for
influencing factors, such as the age of the patients and deprivation. Practices with a
high proportion of elderly patients and practices in the most deprived areas will tend to
have a higher prevalence of disease (and generally a higher prevalence of undiagnosed
disease). See section 12.13 on page 782 for more information on QOF and issues
associated with presenting the prevalence at practice level. Also see Table 28 and
Table 49 for mean age of patients and mean deprivation scores for each practice (which
will influence the prevalence on the disease registers). One such register is for
hypothyroidism.
Table 310 presents the prevalence of hypothyroidism for all the general practices in Hull
for 2009/10 based on these disease registers. The latest list size refers to the registered
population as at 1 st January 2010, but the number and prevalence on the disease
register is as at 31 st March 2010 (the same definitions used in QOF), and this means
that the prevalence can be biased if large population changes have occurred over this
three month period (e.g. Y02747, Y02786, Y02896 and Y02748 all opened between 5 th
October 2009 and 11 th January 2010).
