Study summary

At present, attention to thyroid disease during pregnancy is increasing at home and abroad, but there is relatively little concern about postpartum thyroid disease, especially high incidence of postpartum thyroiditis (PPT). This observational study is to investigate the relationship between different levels of thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) in early pregnancy (1-12 weeks of pregnancy), and to explore whether PPT can be predicted by different TPOAb levels. According to the TPOAb level in early pregnancy, the postpartum of pregnant women was followed up, PPT was detected early, and intervention was performed according to thyroid dysfunction.

Read the detailed description

First pregnant women who between the ages of 18 to 35 years old and normal thyroid function before pregnancy were selected. Recruit 300 pregnant women who early pregnancy (1-12 weeks of pregnancy) screening TPOAb positive and normal Free triiodothyronine (FT3), normal free thyroxine (FT4) ,Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) \<4.78mIU / L as the observation group. They will be divided into low-level group (TPOAb at 34-102 IU/ml), medium-level group (TPOAb at 103-204 IU/ml), and high-level group (TPOAb>205) according to TPOAb. Recruit 100 pregnant women who early pregnancy (1-12 weeks of pregnancy) screening TPOAb negative and normal FT3, normal FT4,TSH \<4.78mIU / L as the Control group.

Thyroid function (FT3, FT4, TSH) and TPOAb, thyroglobulin antibody(TgAb) ,thyroid hormone receptor antibody(TRAb) will be screened in the observation group and the control group at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after delivery. If the mother is diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis (PPT), continue to screen for thyroid function (FT3, FT4, TSH) and thyroid antibodies (TPOAb, TRAb, TgAb) 18 months after delivery. The correlation between the early pregnancy TPOAb level and postpartum thyroiditis was analyzed between the observation group and the control group and the observation group. It was explored whether the occurrence of postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) can be predicted according to the TPOAb level in the first trimester. And targeted maternal effective follow-up and timely intervention to treat PPT provide important basis.
