Thyroid hormones play an important role in central nervous system development, starting
from the exclusive maternal contribution in the first trimester and transitioning to a fully …

The growing fetus relies on adequate thyroid hormone concentrations for normal
development, which is dependent on maternal transplacental thyroid hormone passage and …

Extremely low birth-weight newborns (< 1000g) experience low levels of thyroid hormone
that vary inversely with the severity of neonatal illness and the extent of developmental …

Context: Transient hypothyroxinemia is common in infants less than 30 wk gestation and is
associated with neurodevelopmental deficits; it has no consensus definition. We previously …

BACKGROUND: Transiently low levels of thyroid hormones occur in∼ 50% of neonates
born 24–28 weeks' gestation and are associated with higher rates of cerebral palsy and …

Aim Thyroid hormones are crucial for foetal and neonatal brain development. This paper
provides an overview of the normal role of thyroid hormones in foetal brain development and …

It is now established from large cohort studies that premature infants who experience
transient hypothyroxinemia in the newborn period have an increased risk of later …

Thyroid hormones are required for normal development of the brain. Transient
hypothyroxinaemia is the most common thyroid dysfunction in preterm infants and is defined …

Abstract Background: Thyroid hormones (THs) play a critical role in normal maturation of the
developing brain in the fetus and infant. Continuing advances in neonatal medicine have …

Context: Transient hypothyroxinemia is the commonest thyroid dysfunction of premature
infants, and recent studies have found adverse associations with neurodevelopment. The …
