Background. yroid disorder is one of the most common noncommunicable diseases worldwide and neglected public health issues in Somalia. e aim of the study thus was to investigate the thyroid disorders in patients attending to the largest tertiary referral hospital in Somalia. Methods. is retrospective study was conducted on patients admitted to the internal department of Somalia Mogadishu-Turkey Education and Research Hospital, Somali, between January 2017 and December 2019. Patients who were tested for thyroid function tests and had complete data were included. Patients with incomplete data and currently treated for any thyroid disorder were excluded from the study. Abstracted data including patients’ sociodemographic characteristics, thyroid function tests, and histopathological findings were retrieved from the hospital database system. Results.Atotalof976patientswith thyroid disorders were enrolled, of whom 66.6% (n � 650) were female and 33.4% (n � 326) were male. e mean age of the patients was 47 ± 18.5 years. e majority of the patients were reported in the 31–50 (35.9%) age range. e most reported thyroid function disorders were 58.8% euthyroid sick syndrome followed by 15.4% hypothyroidism, 12.5% subclinical hypothyroidism, 7.6% hyperthyroidism, and 5.7% subclinical hyperthyroidism. e distribution of comorbidity indicated that 13.4% had diabetes mellitus, 10.4% had HIV, 4.9% had malaria, and 4.5% had HIV and malaria coinfection. yroid malignancies were detached in 22 (2.2%) patients including eleven papillary thyroid cancer, nine patients had follicular thyroid cancer, and two patients had differentiated thyroid cancer. Conclusions. Euthyroid sick syndrome was the most common type of thyroid disease in our setup. Hypothyroidism is the second most common, followed by subclinical hypothyroidism. Papillary thyroid cancer was the pre- dominant histology among thyroid malignancies, followed by follicular thyroid cancer. is study revealed that thyroid diseases emerge as an important endocrine disorder encountered in Somali, necessitating a major public health response.
