In an about 2850 deliveries conducted from Jan 2021 December 2021 at Kottayam medical college, 290 patients were diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. Thus, this study has been necessitated as 10.17% of the pregnant women is affected by hypothyroidism. In this study, we have tried to analyse the maternal out comes associated with hypothyroidism. Aim and Objective: To determine the maternal outcomes observed in hypothyroid mothers presenting at the Obstetric clinic in Government Medical College, Kottayam from Jan-Dec 2021. Method: Hospital based retrospective study was conducted among 290 patients admitted from Jan to Dec 2021, in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Government Medical College, Kottayam, Kerala. Result: In our study 10.17% of pregnant woman had hypothyroidism. Out of the 290 cases with hypothyroidism, the mean age of the population was found to be 27.84 years with a standard deviation of +-5.084. 14% of the deliveries were preterm 16% had Complication. About 69.31% had presence of some or the other form of risk factors. Conclusion: Hypothyroidism in pregnancy is associated with increased risk of adverse maternal and foetal outcome. It is worth noting that more than 95% of the Prevalence were in patients below 35 years of age. However, a majority of them had one or other complication, associated with it. Screening of patients for hypothyroidism is necessary especially when the patient is having other complications.
