Article Synopsis
- Pediatric thyroid disorders are increasingly diagnosed, with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) being the most common, found in 39% of cases among children referred for evaluation.
- The study involved 241 treatment-naïve children under 18, where data was collected on various thyroid-related metrics, and treatment decisions were made based on clinical judgment with a follow-up over a year.
- Significant factors influencing treatment included age, gender, autoantibody positivity, and family history, indicating that autoimmunity and familial links play essential roles in managing SCH and highlight the need for ongoing surveillance for congenital hypothyroidism (CH).
Objective: To determine whether subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) alters the phenotype, insulin resistance, or lipid parameters in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Design: Prospective case-control study.
Setting: Tertiary care setting.
