Summary

Thyroid hormones are the cornerstones of a complex system that plays an important role in the growth and development of children, especially in the development of the nervous system and brain. Therefore, even minimal disruptions of this system can cause permanent damage.

Thyroid dysfunction is a common problem in pre-term infants. Hypothyroxinemia of prematurity within the first month of life may represent important prognostic information about morbidity and mortality. Thyroid hormone synthesis may be disrupted in co-morbid conditions . worsening the metabolism of premature infants and causing higher hormone levels compared to healthy infants.
