Incidence of Thyroid Dysfunction in an Unselected Postpartum Population

Ruth Freeman, MD; Harold Rosen, MD; Benjamin Thysen, PhD

Arch Intern Med. 1986;146(7):1361-1364.

Abstract

• We screened 212 patients four to 12 weeks post partumfor thyroid function: four patients (1.9%) had evidence of thyroiddysfunction; six patients (2.8%) had elevated antimicrosomalantibody titers. These incidences are significantly lower thanthose previously reported. We also determined normal data forthyroid function for patients four to eight weeks post partum.While serum thyroxine-binding capacity appeared to have returnedto the normal range by four to eight weeks post partum, it wasstill higher than in normal controls.
