Material and Methods: Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Education and Research Hospital Newborn Unit was performed between January 2015 and December 2017. Infants with gestational age <30 weeks and birth weight <1500 g were included in the study. All infants was performed to Echocardiography on the 3rd day and on thyroid function tests were viewed on the 5th and 7th days. Results: A total of 178 prematurity infants were included in this retrospective descriptive study. There were 112 infants in Group 1 (non-PDA) and 68 infants in Group 2 (hemodynamically significant PDA). No statistically significant difference was found between group 1 and group 2 in terms of free thyroxine (sT4) levels. However, sT4 levels were significantly lower in infants who underwent surgical PDA ligation in group 2 patients (p = 0.05). Conclusion: Our results showed that the level of fT4 was low in infants who were resistant to medical treatment. Hypothyroidism should be kept in mind in infants with PDA who do not respond to medical therapy.
