Routine Thyroid Screening Not Recommended For Pregnant Women
In response to a debate over whether all pregnant women should be screened for subclinical hypothyroid disease, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommended against routine screening in a Committee Opinion in the October issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology. ACOG says there is no evidence that identifying and treating pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism improves either maternal or infant outcomes.
