Dr. Rahul Pengoria, Dr. Mohita Agarwal

Abstract :

The present study was conducted in a tertiary care centre over a period of one year. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of maternal hypothyroidism which is adequately controlled on thyroxine on the perinatal parameters and neonatal thyroid functions. A total of 150 hypothyroid women and their infants were taken as study group and an equal number of matched normal antenatal women were taken as controls. S.TSH levels of all the newborns were done. We concluded that adequately controlled maternal hypothyroidism in early gestation does not lead to an increased risk of maternal and neonatal complications and normal ain development. Therefore universal screening for all pregnant women as a part of routine antenatal care should be practiced to avert long term consequences
