Management of Thyroid Function in Hashimoto's Thyroiditis During Pregnancy

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The management of thyroid function in pregnancy has been object of several guidelines in the last years. Normal thyroid function reduces prenatal and post-natal risks and gestational complaints. Trimester specific reference values of thyroid hormones and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are available for selected geographic population but its are not yet are available in our country. Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most frequent autoimmune thyroid disease which can induce thyroid dysfunction, mainly sub-clinical hypothyroidism. Due to the large incidence in women HT and its potential link with thyroid dysfunction this disease could be search and monitored before pregnancy. Anyway a strong recommendation is to test TSH levels in all patients seeking pregnancy at risk for thyroid dysfunction for a history or current symptoms/signs of thyroid dysfunction, known positivity od thyroid autoimmunity or goiter, a history of neck radiation, age >30 years, diabetes mellitus, previous infertility or pregnant loss, morbid obesity, living in area of moderate-severe iodine deficiency or recent administration of drugs/substance interfering with thyroid function.

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate from 2011 (data of publication of the first American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines for thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy) to now medical record of the a secondary level endocrine unit to verify the adherence to guidelines in the management of thyroid function in pregnant women with HT. The investigators search 1. the adherence to clinical and biochemical endocrine evaluations before conception 2. the use (correct/un-correct) of L-T4 intervention and its monitoring 3. the difference in thyroid function control between women with a fix increment of- L-T4 posology (25 mcg/week more for each 2 kg increment in body weight) after the initial L-T4 adjustment or prescription 4. the clinical and biochemical endocrine evaluation 1-2 months after delivery 5. the outcome of pregnancy 6. the e-mail up-to-date survey on current of off-springs health ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
