Correlation Between Hypothyroidism During Pregnancy and Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Pregnant Women and Its Influence on Pregnancy Outcome and Fetal Growth and Development.

Abstract

Purpose:To observe the correlation between hypothyroidism during pregnancy and glucose and lipid metabolism in pregnant women and its influence on a pregnancy outcome and fetal growth and development.MethodsAbout 152 patients with hypothyroidism during pregnancy in our hospital from June 2017 to June 2020 were selected as the observation group and divided into the overt hypothyroidism (OH) group, the subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) group, and the low T4 group. Another 60 pregnant women with normal antenatal examination and normal thyroid function were selected as the normal group. The glucose and lipid metabolism indexes of each group were compared. The pregnant women in the OH group and the SCH group were given levothyroxine intervention, and the pregnancy outcome and infant development of the two groups were compared.ResultsThe fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein of the OH group and the SCH group were higher than the low T4 group and the normal group, and the OH group was higher than the SCH group (p < 0.05). The incidence of premature delivery and premature rupture of membranes at term (PROM at term) in the hypothyroidism non-control group was higher than the hypothyroidism control group (p < 0.05). The mental development index and the psychomotor development index in the hypothyroidism non-control group were lower than the hypothyroidism control group (p < 0.05).ConclusionPregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy are more prone to glucose and lipid metabolism disorder, which increases the risk of premature delivery and PROM at term, and has certain influence on the intellectual development and psychomotor development of infants.
