Abstract

In this report we describe 32 pregnancies complicated by hyperthyroidism cared for over a 7-year period at AIIMS, New Delhi. In 6 cases hyperthyroidism was diagnosed during pregnancy; others were diagnosed before conception and were on antithyroid therapy during pregnancy. For control of thyrotoxicosis thiourea derivatives, carbimazole (CMZ) and propylthiouracil (PTU), were both used. The dosage of antithyroid drugs could be decreased or stopped in the third trimester in only 28% cases, while 50% cases did not require any change in the dosage during gestation and 21% required an increase in dosage with advancing gestation to control thyrotoxicosis. Maternal and fetal complications included preterm labour (25%), PIH (22%), thyroid crisis (9%) and intrauterine growth retardation (13%). Thyroid status of neonates was found abnormal in 9% cases, including 1 case (3%) of neonatal thyrotoxicosis with goitre and 2 (6%) cases of neonatal hypothyroidism. One maternal death occurred due to thyroid storm. No case of stillbirth or perinatal death occurred in the present study. In our experience of 32 cases maternal and fetal complications are reported with increased frequency, requiring close surveillance of thyroid status to maintain euthyroidism and intensive fetal monitoring during pregnancy to achieve good maternal and perinatal outcome.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
