ABSTRACT

Background: The function of the thyroid gland is change during pregnancy. Thyroid dysfunctions during pregnancy are related with significant maternal and fetal outcomes. Universal broadcast for thyroid dysfunction is suggested in the 1st trimester of pregnancy. Objective: To check the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy in women attending a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted from the test result of pregnant women of all trimester suffering from thyroid was collected from PSH (Parul Sevasharam Hospital) from August 2021 to April 2022. Result: In this study, the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was 8.41%. The most predominant thyroidism in 1st trimester was subclinical hypothyroidism, overt hypothyroidism, subclinical hyperthyroidism and overt hyperthyroidism was 45 %, 37%, 9% and 9% respectively. Individually in second trimester the predominance of subclinical hypothyroidism, overt hypothyroidism, subclinical hyperthyroidism and overt hyperthyroidism was 62%, 20%, 7% and 11% respectively. And the predominance of subclinical hypothyroidism in 3rd trimester was 12% and Euthyroid was 88%. Overall prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism, overt hypothyroidism, subclinical hyperthyroidism and overt hyperthyroidism were 56%, 27%, 7% and 10% respectively. Conclusion: We concluded that maternal thyroid problems have such a significant impact on mother and fetal outcomes, early detection and treatment of thyroid disorders is critical. Thus, universal thyroid disorder screening for pregnant women should be explored, especially in a country like India, where undiagnosed thyroid disorder is common.
