飞行人员甲状腺疾病的特点、诊治及医学鉴定

目的 总结飞行人员甲状腺疾病的诊治和医学鉴定经验. 方法 收集我院2000年12月-2009年12月间住院飞行人员67例甲状腺疾病资料,将其归为:①无症状的良性甲状腺结节;②慢性淋巴细胞性甲状腺炎;③甲状腺功能异常类疾病(包括甲状腺机能亢进症和甲状腺机能减退症);④甲状腺恶性肿瘤.分析4类疾病的特点及飞行结论 情况. 结果 ①良性甲状腺结节36例(占53.73%),4例手术治疗(腺瘤3例,结节性甲状腺肿1例),除5例因其他原因停飞外,其余31例均飞行合格,定期复查;②慢性淋巴细胞性甲状腺炎5例(占7.46%),甲状腺功能正常,均飞行合格,定期复查;③甲状腺功能异常类疾病20例(占29.85%,甲状腺机能亢进18例,甲状腺机能减退2例),均行药物治疗,6例飞行合格,3例暂时飞行不合格,11例停飞;④甲状腺恶性肿瘤6例(占8.96%,4例为乳头状癌,2例为滤泡状癌),1例飞行合格,5例停飞.经统计学分析,甲状腺功能异常类疾病和甲状腺恶性肿瘤的停飞率均高于良性甲状腺结节和慢性淋巴细胞性甲状腺炎,且差异有统计学意义(P<0.01或P<0.05). 结论 飞行人员甲状腺疾病以无症状的良性结节常见,要重视功能异常类疾病和恶性肿瘤的早期诊断和治疗. Abstract： Objective To summarize the experiences of diagnosis,treatment and medical evaluation of thyroid disease in flying personnel. Methods Sixty-seven cases of thyroid diseases,that were hospitalized from December 2000 to December 2009,were collected and analyzed.They were concluded such categories as:①asymptomatic benign thyroid nodules;②Hashimoto's disease;③diseases of abnormal thyroid functions (including hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism);and ④thyroid cancer.Their characteristics and the relationship between different categories were analyzed correspondingly to the evaluations for flying. Results ①Among 36 cases of diagnosed asymptomatic benign thyroid nodules (53.73%),4 (3 were adenoma and 1 was nodular goiter) were surgically treated.31 Cases were evaluated as qualified for flying but should be with regular medical check-up while the other 5 were permanently grounded.②There were 5 cases of Hashimoto's disease with normal thyroid functions (7.46%).They were qualified for flying but should be with regular medical check-up.③Thyroid dysfunction took 20 cases (29.85%),among which 18 were hyperthyroidism and 2 were hypothyroidism.Drug treatment was applied.Six cases were finally qualified for flying while the other 3 and 11 were respectively assessed as temporary and permanent grounding.④Six cases were thyroid cancer (8.96%),included 4 papillary carcinoma cases and 2 follicular thyroid carcinoma cases.Only 1 case was finally qualified for flying while the others were permanently grounded.Statistical analysis showed that thyroid dysfunction diseases and thyroid cancer caused significant higher disqualification rate than benign thyroid nodules and Hashimoto's diseases (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusions Benign thyroid nodules are the common thyroid diseases in flying personnel.But the diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction diseases and thyroid malignant tumors should be cared in order to win the chance of treatment and further to reduce the rate of flying disqualification.
