ABSTRACT
Background: Thyroid disorders rank second among endocrine
disorders associated with pregnancy because its incidence is
higher in women's reproductive stages.
Objectives: To determine the incidence of the association between
thyroid disease and pregnancy.
Material and method: A transverse clinical study was conducted,
in which a group of women with thyroid disorders was compared
vs a control group. The variables in the study were: maternal age,
parity, gestational age at the time of the resolution of the pregnancy,
weight products to the birth and Apgar rating. Statistical
analysis was performed using Fisher's exact test.
Results: Seventy-two pregnant patients were included: 24 with
hyperthyroidism and 48 with hypothyroidism. In the group of
patients with hypothyroidism a statistical difference (p‹0.05) was
found in abortion and low birth weight compared to the control
group, in which a statistical difference was found (p ‹0.05) in the
absence of complications associated and pregnancy resolution
via vaginal. In the group of women with hyperthyroidism a statistical
difference was found (p ‹0.05) in low birth weight compared
with the control group, where a statistical difference (p ‹0.05) was
observed in the absence of associated maternal complications
and pregnancy resolution via vaginal. The remaining variables
studied in both groups had no statistically significant difference.
Conclusions: It is required to maintain close monitoring of patients
with thyroid disorders to obtain successful perinatal results
and avoid complications.
