BackgroundThe effect of thyroid stimulating endocrine (TSH) suppression medical aid on bone mineral density (BMD) of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) or differentiated thyroid malignant neoplastic disease is still controversial. Our aim was to investigate the effect of TSH suppression therapy on BMD of patients with DTC.MethodsA total of 1651 DTC patients with TSH-suppression medical care were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software (https://training.cochrane.org/online-learning/core-software/revman/revman-5-download) in the present study. The PubMed and Embase databases were consistently hunted for works revealed through July 29, 2022.ResultsThe results indicated that a significant association between femoral bone mineral density (FN-BMD) (P = .02) or lumbar spine bone mineral density (L-BMD) (P = .04) and DTC patients with TSH-suppression therapy. However, the total hip bone mineral density (TH-BMD) was not significantly related to DTC patients with TSH-suppression therapy (P = .11). For premenopausal women, it was shown that TH-BMD (P = .02) or L-BMD (P = .01) were closely related to DTC patients with TSH-suppression therapy. However, there was no relationship between FN-BMD and DTC patients with TSH-suppression therapy (P = .06). For postmenopausal women, TH-BMD was closely related to DTC patients with TSH-suppression therapy (P = .02). It was revealed that there was no significant difference between L-BMD (P = .16) or FN-BMD (P = .26) and DTC patients with TSH-suppression therapy. For men, there was no relationship between FN-BMD (P = .94) or L-BMD (P = .29) and DTC patients with TSH-suppression therapy.ConclusionOur systematic review has demonstrated that TSH inhibition treatment mainly influence the TH-BMD or L-BMD of the DTC patients who were premenopausal women; the TH-BMD of the DTC patients who were postmenopausal women. In addition, there was no influence on the FN-BMD or L-BMD of the DTC patients who were men.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
