Even if there was no clinically significant difference and none of the newborn was diagnosed of hypothyroidism, iodine supplementation in all pregnant women should be of concerned. A large prospective study would benefit the iodine implementation of pregnant women in Siriraj Hospital. PMID: 29952487 [PubMed - in process]
