Abstract

Thyroid abnormalities during pregnancy and their effects on the developing baby have gained a lot of attention in recent years. Pregnancy-related thyroid abnormalities occur more frequently than any other endocrinological condition. Material and Methods: This study used a prospective design. From November 2021 to November 2022, 200 pregnant patients with a singleton pregnancy were enrolled in the study at the prenatal clinic of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sri Sathya Sai Medical College and Hospital, Tamil Nadu, India. Results: A total of 200 participants participated in the screening process for this study. Women, on average, were 25 years old at the time. At the time of the screening, the typical gestational age was between 7-8 weeks. 143 were nullipara, 57 were multipara. 35 of the patients in the primi group and 25 of the patients in the multi group showed an abnormal thyroid profile. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this research, we can draw the conclusion that universal thyroid screening is superior to targeted case discovery, which excludes approximately one third of individuals who have an aberrant thyroid profile. When compared with patients whose thyroid profiles were normal, those patients who had an abnormal thyroid profile had a higher incidence of complications
