What is the benefit of screening for thyroid function in pregnant women in the detection of newly diagnosed thyropathies?

Original language description

Thyroid gland disturbances are the most common endocrine disorders in pregnancy. There are some particular recommendations for the investigation of women in risk groups, but no consensus guidelines for general screening exists at present in the Czech Republic. The aim of our study was to determine whether universally conducted screening of pregnant women would reveal a significant number thyropathies. Material and Methods. We examined 592 pregnant women for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (fT4) levels and for autoantibodies against thyroperoxidase (antiTPO) in the 6th - 10th week of their pregnancy. Results. Levels of TSH, fT4 or antiTPO beyond laboratory reference limits were found by gynaecologists in 214 women (36.1%) and 141 ofwhom (23.8%) underwent endocrinological examination. In the women without known risk factors (n=91) we found undiagnosed autoimmune thyroiditis in 20 cases (22 %) and in 7 cases (7.7%) some degree of subclini- cal hypothyroidism was conf
