Abstract

Context: Thyroid disorders are the second most common endocrinology disorder found in pregnancy. Women with thyroid dysfunction both overt and subclinical are at increased risk of pregnancy-related complications such as threatened abortion, preeclampsia, preterm labor, placental abruption, and postpartum hemorrhage.

Materials and Methods: The present prospective analytical study was conducted among pregnant women to assess the prevalence of thyroid disorders among them and to observe the obstetric outcomes of these women suffering from thyroid disorders during the period of two years.

Results: In the present study, 62 out of 1000 pregnant women screened had thyroid disorders. The prevalence of thyroid disorders in our study was 6.2%. The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism, overt hypothyroidism, subclinical hyperthyroidism and hyperthyroidism was 3.6%, 1.6%, 0.8% and 0.2% respectively.

Conclusions: Thyroid dysfunction is a condition that should be treated aggressively and affects a significant number of women during pregnancy associated with adverse maternal outcome.

Keywords: Thyroid Disorders in Pregnancy; Hypothyroidism; Hyperthyroidism in Pregnancy; Pregnancy Related Complications.
