Abstract

Thyroid storm is an uncommon life‐threatening thyroid dysfunction which was observed for the first time among patients infected with Coronavirus 2019 (COVID‐19). The diagnosis and treatment of the rare thyroid distinctions such as thyroid storm in COVID‐19–infected patients should be critically considered alongside common treatments of COVID‐19 infection.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
