          Abstract

          The authors' institution-a safety net, university, and tertiary-care hospital located in West Texas-has a high number of hospital admissions for complicated thyrotoxicosis. It was hypothesized that unfavorable socioeconomic conditions result in increased risk of poor outcomes in hyperthyroid patients, and increased rates of hospitalization for thyrotoxicosis in West Texas. The primary aim of this study was to identify factors associated with admission for complicated thyrotoxicosis in patients living in the Panhandle and Llano Estacado of Texas.
