Thyrotoxic, hypokalaemic periodic paralysis in Australasian men
Abstract
Abstract The present study describes the clinical and laboratory features of 11 patients with thyrotoxic, hypokalaemic periodic paralysis, presenting to five Melbourne teaching hospitals between 1991 and 2000. All 11 patients were Asian or Polynesian men aged 18−41 years, and most had experienced previous episodes of acute, unexplained paralysis. All cases resolved without significant morbidity. Thyrotoxic, hypokalaemic periodic paralysis is a potentially life‐threatening and terrifying condition, which is often under‐recognized and will present with increasing frequency in the community. The diagnosis should be considered in any Asian−Australian male presenting with sudden onset paralysis. (Intern Med J 2003; 33: 91−94)

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.
