Abnormalities of thyroid, namely hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, are both associated with increased risk of hypertension. We utilized the National Inpatient Sample from the years 2012-2014 to explore the risk of thyroid disorders in relation to those without a thyroid diagnosis. We found that hypertension was more commonly associated with hyperthyroidism (odds ratio: 1.18; 95% confidence interval: 1.16-1.21, <0.0001) than with hypothyroidism (odds ratio: 1.06; 95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.07, <0.0001) when both were compared with hypertension without a thyroid diagnosis.
