Prevalence of thyroid disorders in pregnancy among Indian women

Thyroid disorders during pregnancy lead to maternal outcome and foetal outcome. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the prevalence of thyroid disorders in pregnancy and its correlation with maternal outcome and foetal outcome. Hence, 450 pregnant female patients were investigated on the basis of detailed history, clinical information and lab investigation to record maternal outcome and foetal outcome for Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism disorders. Data shows that those who had received treatment for hypothyroidism has less complications compared to those who had not received treatment. Thus, hypothyroidism warrants careful management to mitigate associated risks and complications.
