Study of thyroid disorders in pregnancy and their effects on feto-maternal outcomes

Abstract

The second most common endocrine disease that occurs during pregnancy is thyroid disease. Overt and subclinical thyroid dysfunction can lead to adverse effects on both the fetus and the mother. Thyroid diseases during pregnancy affect maternal outcomes and neuropsychological development of the fetus. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of thyroid disorders on maternal health and its maternal and perinatal outcomes and to formulate a plan for the management of thyroid disorders in pregnancy. This prospective observational study involved 165 pregnant women. They will be assessed using thyroid function tests, and patients with deranged thyroid function will be treated and followed up. Pregnancy and outcomes were recorded. The findings of this research will offer important new information regarding possible side effects linked to thyroid issues in mothers as well as the clear advantages of therapy. Maternal thyroid diseases have several risk factors in addition to clear advantages of treatment.
