Ultrasound Measurements of Thyroid Gland Volume at 36 Weeks ’ Corrected Gestational Age in Extremely Preterm Infants Born before 28 Weeks’ Gestation

Conclusions: Our findings provide a reference range with a mean thyroid volume of 0.57 mL (SD ±0.18) in this extremely preterm age group if less than 28 weeks’ gestation. Thyroid volume at birth can vary from country to country due to variations in iodine intake as well as gestational age.Eur Thyroid J
