A cross-sectional cohort study with microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes with and without hypothyroidism.
CONCLUSIONS: Hypothyroidism in T2DM was not associated with microvascular disease after adjusting for confounding factors. There was a nearly two-fold risk of CVD. The study is limited by the retrospective and observational design.
