Affected suture(s) No. cases with and without thyroid disease* AOR (95% CI), adjusted for maternal age**
Any 37/1030 1.4 (0.9, 1.9)
Sagittal 19/547 1.3 (0.8, 2.1)
Metopic 6/188 1.3 (0.6, 3.0)
Coronal 6/181 1.2 (0.5, 2.9)
Lambdoidal 0/32
Multiple 6/79 3.0 (1.3, 6.9)
*

The sum of the two numbers in the column equals the total number of cases; eg, 37 + 1030 = 1067 cases with any affected suture. Number of controls with and without thyroid disease was 191 and 8303, respectively.

**

Adjusted for maternal age as <25, 25–29, 30–34, 35+ years.
