Abstract

Maternal hyperthyroidism and antithyroid medications have been associated with adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. This nationwide register‐based study investigated the association of maternal hyperthyroidism and antithyroid drug (ATD) use with pregnancy outcomes and included all singleton births in Finland between 2004 and 2013 (N = 571 785).
