Objective.
We conducted the study to see the incidence of thyroid dysfunction in women with obstetrical high-risk factors.
Methods.
We retrospectively reviewed medical charts of high-risk pregnant women who had examination for thyroid function during pregnancy.
Women were divided according to clinical presentation, symptoms of thyroid disease and those with a personal history of thyroid disease (thyroid disease, n=32), intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR, n=115), diabetes mellitus (diabetes, n=115), hypertension (n=63), intrauterine fetal death (IUFD, n=52), and placental abruption (abruption, n=15).
The incidence of thyroid dysfunctions including hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism was compared.
Results.
The overall prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was 24.7%.
The incidence of thyroid dysfunction in each group was as follows: 31% in thyroid disease, 25% in IUGR, 30% in diabetes, 27% in hypertension, 12% in IUFD, and 7% in abruption.
Except IUFD, the incidence was not statistically significant from the group of thyroid disease (thyroid disease versus IUFD, P=0.03 by χ2 test).
Thyroid disease represented for only 10% of all thyroid dysfunctions.
Conclusion.
Testing of women with a personal history or current symptoms of thyroid disease during pregnancy may be insufficient to detect women with thyroid dysfunction, who will become at high-risk pregnancy.
