Thyroid function in premature infants. The hypothyroxinemia of prematurity.

Advances of perinatal and neonatal medicine have been associated with a progressive reduction in mortality of premature infants and a progressive increase in number of the surviving very low birth weight (VLBW) cohort less than 28 to 32 weeks gestation age. Hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) function is immature in most premature infants, and this is particularly true of the VLBW group. Accumulated information has allowed development of a unique nosology of HPT system disorders in these infants to facilitate thyroid function testing, test interpretation, and patient management.
