Screening for thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy with targeted high-risk case finding: can it be improved?

Conclusions: Targeted high-risk case finding screening was not effective for the detection of SCH, but performed better for OH. When obesity in the range BMI 30-39.9 kg/m2 and a Caucasian background was included as risk factors, the detection rate of SCH became comparable with that in case of US.
