Objective: Thyroid disorders are common in women of reproductive age, but the exact burden of disease before, during and after a pregnancy is not clear. We describe the prevalence of thyroid disease in women enrolled in the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC) and investigate some of its risk factors.
Design: Population-based study within the DNBC, which included 101,032 pregnancies (1997-2003).

Background: It is generally accepted that patients suffering from hypothyroidism may express few symptoms, but this has not been studied in a population-based study design.
Objectives: To study the array of symptoms as they are reported in newly diagnosed overt autoimmune hypothyroidism using a population-based case-control design.
Methods: Patients with new overt autoimmune hypothyroidism (n=140) and their individually matched thyroid disease-free controls (n=560) recruited from the same population underwent a comprehensive program and self-reported a number of symptoms.

Background: Antithyroid drugs (ATDs) may have teratogenic effects when used in early pregnancy.
Objective: To review the association between the time period of ATD exposure in early pregnancy and the development of birth defects.
Methods: We identified publications on birth defects after early pregnancy exposure to the ATDs methimazole (MMI; and its prodrug carbimazole (CMZ)) and propylthiouracil (PTU).
