Is Neuropsychological Development Related to Maternal Hypothyroidism or to Maternal Hypothyroxinemia?

Morreale de Escobar, G.·2000·Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism

Abstract

Several recent publications have drawn attention to the role of the thyroid hormone status of the mother on the future neuropsychological development of the child.The screening of pregnant women for clinical or subclinical hypothyroidism based on second trimester elevated maternal TSH values has been proposed.Here, we have summarized present epidemiological and experimental evidence strongly suggesting that conditions resulting in first trimester hypothyroxinemia (a low for gestational age circulating maternal free T 4 , whether or not TSH is increased) pose an increased risk for poor neuropsychological development of the fetus.This would be a consequence of decreased availability of maternal T 4 to the developing brain, its only source of thyroid hormone during the first trimester; T 4 is the required substrate for the ontogenically regulated generation of T 3 in the amounts needed for optimal development in different brain structures, both temporally and spatially.Normal maternal T 3

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.
