CHICAGO— In this video exclusive, Naifa Lamki Busaidy, MD, FACP, FACE, associate professor in the department of endocrine neoplasia and hormonal disorders at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, discusses recent peer-reviewed research that has had an impact on medical thyroidology — from hypothyroidism to thyroid cancer.
Conflicting findings, guidelines support cautious approach to mild thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy

Subclinical hypothyroidism is a common diagnosis, present in approximately 3% to 4% of reproductive-age women. Although a mild form of hypothyroidism — defined as elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone with normal free thyroxine levels — the condition has been associated with infertility, increased risk for adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, and possibly with increased risk for neurocognitive deficits in offspring.
Mandatory iodine fortification reduces overt thyrotoxicosis in Denmark

The overall standardized incidence rate of overt thyrotoxicosis in Denmark decreased by 50% after more than a decade of mandatory iodine fortification in the country without an increase in the overall incidence of sustained, overt hypothyroidism, according to findings published in Clinical Endocrinology.
Mild maternal thyroid dysfunction increases preterm birth risk
Survey: Most clinicians not following ATA guidelines for subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnancy

Only 5% of clinicians reported adhering to a recommended thyroid-stimulating hormone cutoff proposed by the American Thyroid Association for diagnosing subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnancy, and a minority said they followed recommended indications for measuring thyroid peroxidase antibody status, according to survey findings published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.
