To the Editor: It appears that there may be some discrepancy in the data reporting in the study by Dr Anselmo and colleagues¹ concerning fetal loss associated with excess thyroid hormone exposure. We would appreciate it if the authors could clarify a point of confusion. The number of infants born to affected mothers appears to be 31 from the text, 45 from Table 2, and 25 from Figure 1.
