Thyrotoxic Periodic Paralysis: Report of 10 Cases and Review of Electromyographic Findings
Abstract
• We reviewed the clinical characteristics of 10 patients with thyrotoxic periodic paralysis. In these patients, a relatively uniform group of young men, the periodic paralysis developed nearly concurrently with the onset of hyperthyroidism. The attacks were precipitated most frequently by rest and by exercise and, occasionally, by ingestion of a large carbohydrate load. In each patient, the paralysis resolved on return of euthyroidism. The approximate incidence rate for thyrotoxic periodic paralysis in our largely white North American patient population (all hyperthyroidism cases) ranged from 0.1% to 0.2%, which is one tenth the rate reported for Oriental populations. In 7 patients, electrodiagnostic testing revealed characteristic changes in compound muscle action potential amplitude in response to exercise of the muscle being tested.

In the citing paper
“According to previous reports, nearly 50% of TPP patients had only subtle signs/symptoms of thyrotoxicosis, albeit without systematic assessment (14, 15, 16, 36).”

In the citing paper
“It is often stated in the literature that typical clinical symptoms of thyrotoxicosis, such as weight loss, heat intolerance, palpitations, increased appetite, excitability, and diaphoresis, may be subtle and periodic paralysis may precede these symptoms in TPP (10, 14, 15, 16).”

“The incidence of TPP in Chinese and Japanese thyrotoxic patients has been reported at 1.8% and 1.9%, respectively [2], whereas in North Americans at 0.1%–0.2% [5].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
