The objective
To determine the prevalence of thyroid pathology among pregnant women during 2003–2016. and studies of the effect of the use of the complex Yodofol containing potassium iodide (200 μg) and folic acid (400 mg) in the ultrasound parameters of the thyroid gland (T) of women.
Materials and methods
Used f. 21 «Report on medical care for pregnant women, parturient women and puerperas». We examined more than 1 million pregnant women who were under the supervision of antenatal clinics during 2003–2016. The frequency was calculated per 1000 pregnant women.

The prevalence of thyroid disease among pregnant women decreased by 25.40% – from 72.78 ± 0.14 in 2003–2007. to 57.64 ± 0.09 ‰ in 2013–2016 (p<0.001), and diffuse goiter of I degree by 21.17% – from 50.13 ± 0.12 in 2003–2007. to 41.37 ± 0.12 ‰ in 2013–2016 (p<0.001).
