Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a very common congenital endocrine disorder. In most cases, CH is permanent and results from an abnormality in thyroid gland development (dysgenenesis or agenesis) or a defect in thyroid hormone synthesis. Thyroid function is dynamic during the prenatal period with many factors like gestational age, mode of delivery, birth weight and the day of sample collection.
To find out mode of delivery on TSH cord blood.
A crosssectional study of neonates born in KIMS Hospital Karad from December 2013 to February 2015 was done. Blood samples were collected from the cord at birth and 24 hours sample collected from peripheral veins while observing all safety and aseptic precautions.
Student t test (two tailed, independent) was used to find the significance of study parameters on continuous scale between two groups (Inter group analysis) on metric parameters.
The mean value of TSH (miu/dl) in the neonates was 2.77±0.46 (mean±SD)
Mode of delivery need not be taken into account when TSH values, in samples collected at birth in term neonates.
