Episode description
Universal thyroid screening in pregnancy is a key debate in endocrinology and obstetrics. While some countries advocate universal screening, the UK and USA adopt a “high-risk” based strategy. ACOG’s Practice Bulletin 148 (April 2015) keeps its recommendation to NOT perform routine screening for thyroid disease in pregnancy. BUT, should we screen for thyroid abnormalities universally? This podcast will review the pros and cons and make a push for once stance over the other.
