Abstract

The research aimed to investigate the epidemiological profile of hypothyroidism during pregnancy in the city of Palmas-TO. This is a descriptive and exploratory
study of documentary type, with quantitative approach, carried out at the Public Maternity and at the Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health. The analysis
comprised 15 medical records of women with hypothyroidism, four from the Maternity and eleven from the Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health (CSRH).
The average maternal age was 30.2 years and average gestational age was 16.3 years; the personal history of this disease was present in 14 individuals; history of
abortions was present in 5; hormone replacement occurred in 4 pregnant women. Regarding the repeated hormonal assessments during pregnancy, there was
one case according to the medical records. We conclude that monitoring occurred in a timely manner with pertinent interventions; however, it is necessary to
improve the quality of the medical records, since missing information hindered the understanding of the prognosis of women under high-risk prenatal.
