First trimester thyroid function in pregnant women residing in Saint Petersburg (Russia): reference values and risk of gestational diabetes

Background. Subclinical hypothyroidism during pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is known to be associated with maternal and child morbidity. The concept of subclinical dysfunction of the thyroid gland in pregnant women depends on the population-specific and trimester-specific referen...

The aim of the study was to determine the reference values of TSH and free thyroxin (fT4) in the first trimester of pregnancy in women living in St. Petersburg, and to assess the relationship between thyroid status and the risk of subsequent development of GDM. Materials and methods. The levels of TSH, fT4 and thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab) were analyzed in 503 pregnant women before the 14th week of gestation. The women underwent oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24–28 weeks to find out those with GDM. The association between thyroid function, thyroid autoimmunity and the risk of GDM we estimated. Results. The reference values for TSH were 0.07 – 4.40 mU /L, and for fT4 11.7 – 20.3 pmol/L. The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in the 503 pregnant women was 16.9% according to the diagnostic criteria of TSH> 2.5 mIU / L and 3.8% using our calculated reference interval. Hypothyroxinemia was registered in 5,3% using reference values recommended by diagnostic tests manufacturer and in 2,8% according to our calculated reference interval for fT4. GDM was diagnosed in 23% of women. Logistic regression analysis showed associations of hypothyroxinemia and TPO-Ab-positivity with the increased risk of GDM that remained significant after adjustments on age and body mass index (BMI) [adjusted OR (95% CI) = 7.39 (1.27–42.93) for hypothyroxinemia, p=0.026; and adjusted OR (95% CI) = 2.02 (1.01–4.04) for TPO-Ab-positivity, p=0.047). Conclusions. Reference intervals for first trimester TSH and fT4 have been established for pregnant women living in St. Petersburg. Hypothyroxinemia and TPO-Ab-positivity were associated with the increased risk of GDM.Polina V. PopovaEkaterina S. ShilovaAlexandra S. TkachukAlexandra V. DronovaAnna D. AnopovaAlla E.
