New hypothyroidism research reported from Yale University, Medical Department.(Report)
"The purpose of this study was to determine whether routine screening for subclinical hypothyroidism during pregnancy would be cost-effective. We developed a decision analysis model to compare the cost-effectiveness of 2 screening strategies during pregnancy for subclinical hypothyroidism: (1) no routine screening of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (standard) and (2) routine screening of TSH levels," scientists in the United States report (see also Hypothyroidism).
"In the latter, women with subclinical hypothyroidism received thyroid hormone replacement. We assumed that thyroid hormone replacement could reduce the incidence of an offspring IQ
The researchers concluded: "Screening for subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnancy will be a cost-effective strategy under a wide range of circumstances."
Thung and colleagues published their study in American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (The cost-effectiveness of universal screening in pregnancy for subclinical hypothyroidism. American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2009;200(3):E1).
