“…The results of this study revealed that the age of the study population ranged between 15-40 years with a mean age of 27.5 years old. There was significant correlation between the age and frequency of thyroid dysfunction with P=value of 0.042. this finding agrees with a study done by Amel K. Saeed, et al, who reported that the age had a significant correlation with the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction 5 .…”

Background: Thyroid dysfunctions are among the most prevalent of medical conditions, and considered the most prevalent disorders in women during pregnancy, and can adversely affect obstetric outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of thyroid disorders among pregnant women in Bosaso city, Somalia, and to initiate normal levels of thyroid related hormones Materials and methods: This study was cross-sectional hospital-based study conducted at University of Health Science Hospital (Prof Abdirisak Hospital), Bosaso city, Somalia during the period of August 2023 to December 2023. a total of 250 pregnant women were included in the study. A total of five ml of whole blood was collected from each participant into sterile plain containers for thyroid hormones estimation. Estimation of thyroid hormones was done by using CLIA technique (Maglumi 800). The data was gathered using per-designed structural questionnaire and the SPSS 26.0 statistical software (SPSS Inc., USA) was used for statistical analysis. Results: The overall prevalence of thyroid disorders were 33 (13.2%), 8% of them were hyperthyroidism and the rest 5.2% were hypothyroidism. The reference range for TSH, T3 and T4 were (0.07 mlU/L–4.14 mlU/L), (0.19 nmol/L–4.98 nmol/L), and (0.21 nmol/L–3.69 nmol/L) respectively. Conclusion: This study concluded that there is a slightly higher frequency of thyroid dysfunction disorders among pregnant women.

“…A study in Jordan reported the prevalence of hyperthyroidism as 1.8% in women and 2.27% in men [13]. A study from Sudan reported a prevalence of 3.4% of hyperthyroidism among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in a hospital [14]. These reports, including our findings, were consistent with hyperthyroidism's global prevalence, ranging from 0.2% to 1.3% [15].…”

Introduction Hyperthyroidism is one of the primary dysfunctional thyroid diseases that results from abnormally high thyroid hormone secretion. It leads to metabolic derangement that manifests as heightened vital functions and metabolism and hyperdynamic blood circulation. Hyperthyroidism jeopardizes one’s quality of life and hampers the patient’s job performance. The disease is chronic but diagnosable and treatable and can be kept under control medically. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of suspected hyperthyroidism cases among a population sample in Jeddah city by using Wayne’s scoring and delineation of factors associated with the disease. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study design was used. A total of 346 participants were conveniently selected from two shopping malls in Jeddah city during a five-day health awareness campaign. The data were collected by certified physicians, according to Wayne’s score inventory. Results The study included 194 women (56.1%) and 152 men (43.9%). The participants’ ages ranged from 16 to 56 years. The Wayne’s scores showed 80.6% were euthyroid, 18.2% equivocal, and 1.2% have hyperthyroidism. Bronchial asthma was significantly associated with hyperthyroidism in men, while obesity was significantly associated with hyperthyroidism in women. Age, gender, level of education, and family history of chronic diseases, including thyroid disorders, were not significantly associated with hyperthyroidism. Conclusions Wayne’s scoring for hyperthyroidism, which is a noninvasive tool, in addition to its detection of hyperthyroidism cases, can predict patients with equivocal results or those that might be subclinical for further medical assessment and follow-up. A Wayne’s score can give the results of hyperthyroidism comparable to the results obtained by biochemical investigations. This tool is not in common use, but it is quite useful and should be put into broader usage.

“…11 In Sudan, cross-sectional hospital-based study among 500 pregnant Sudanese women aged 15-45 years in all trimesters, found a prevalence of 9.4 % this study use national reference ranges instead of the ATA trimester specific reference ranges. 12 A cross-section study carried out in Tunisia among 1519 pregnant women in all trimesters demonstrated prevalence of thyroid dysfunction at 9.7%. 13 In Saudi Arabia, acrosssectional study among 384 pregnant women the majority (89.3%) of women aged less than 40 years and obesity was found to be 53.9%, the mean age was 32.6, the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism was 13%, and Chi-square analysis indicated that age and obesity were not significantly associated with subclinical hypothyroidism which is consistent with our results.…”

Introduction: Pregnancy is a physiological state in which significant changes in thyroid function occur. Several factors contribute to these changes. These factors could contribute to thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy especially when a deficiency of iodine intake exists and when thyroid reserve is not sufficient.Aim: To assess thyroid function tests during pregnancy.Subjects and methods: cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 pregnant women attending obstetrics outpatient clinic in Suez Canal university hospitals were invited to enroll in the study. At end of study, the blood samples were assessed for free T3, free T4 and TSH.Results: Our study revealed that most of pregnant women had normal thyroid functions (51%), while subclinical hypothyroidism (39%) was the most prevalent disorder followed by clinical hypothyroidism (6%) and isolated hypothyroxinemia (4%). Conclusion:The most prevalent pattern of thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women was subclinical hypothyroidism.
