The cost-effectiveness of universal screening in pregnancy for subclinical hypothyroidism
Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to determine whether routine screening for subclinical hypothyroidism during pregnancy would be cost-effective.Study design We developed a decision analysis model to compare the cost-effectiveness of 2 screening strategies during pregnancy for subclinical hypothyroidism: (1) no routine screening of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (standard) and (2) routine screening of TSH levels. In the latter, women with subclinical hypothyroidism received thyroid hormone replacement. We assumed that thyroid hormone replacement could reduce the incidence of an offspring IQ < 85 for pregnancies with subclinical hypothyroidism. The main outcome measure was marginal cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained.Results Our model predicts that universal screening is the dominant strategy. For every 100,000 pregnant women who were screened, $8,356,383 are saved, and 589.3 QALYs are gained. When subclinical hypothyroidism prevalence is reduced to 0.25%, screening remains cost-effective at $21,664/QALY gained.Conclusion Screening for subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnancy will be a cost-effective strategy under a wide range of circumstances.

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.
