June 12, 2023 updated by: Seda Yilmaz Semerci, Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital

Neurodevelopmental Outcome of the Infants With Transient Hypothyroxinemia of Prematurity in Newborn Intensive Care Unit

• Transient hypothyroxinemia of prematurity (THoP) is defined as free thyroxine (FT4) level is below the reference values despite normal TSH level in preterm infant. This study aims to evaluate the neurological development of infants with transient premature hypothyroxinemia (THoP).
