Abstract

Purpose

The impact of mild subclinical hypothyroidism on pregnancy outcomes in TPOAb-negative women is poorly explored. The aim of the present study was the evaluation in a wide cohort of TPOAb-negative pregnant women the role of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) on several pregnancy outcomes.

Methods

The study included women aged ≥ 18 years with a singleton pregnancy without known thyroid disease with serum TSH concentration between 0.4 and 10 mIU/L and TPOAb negative. Data about clinical and demographic features were collected. A blood sample was drown to test TSH, TPOAb, ANA and ENA concentration. The mean uterine artery pulsatility index was measured. Risk of adverse obstetric and fetal outcomes was collected.

Results

The cohort included 2135 pregnant women. Pregnant women with TSH 4–10 mUI/L had a significantly higher frequency of family history of thyroid diseases, and personal history of celiac disease diseases, type 1 diabetes mellitus, rheumatic disease, antinuclear antibody (ANA) and anti-extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) positive tests. The risk for pre-eclampsia and small for gestational age (SGA) was significantly higher in pregnant women with first-trimester TSH 4–10 mIU/L. A first-trimester TSH serum level greater than 4 mIU/L was associated with a significant increase in the occurrence of abnormal uterine artery pulsatility index, with a more than threefold increase in the risk of developing pre-eclampsia and with the risk of SGA.

Conclusions

In TPOAb-negative pregnant women, a first-trimester serum TSH level ranging from 4 to 10 mIU/L is significantly and independently linked to an increased uterine artery pulsatility index as well as to negative pregnancy outcomes such as pre-eclampsia, SGA and gestational diabetes.

NSCLC: Progressionsfreies Überleben unter Osimertinib fast versiebenfacht

06.06.2024 ASCO 2024 Kongressbericht

Erste Ergebnisse der Phase-III-Studie LAURA etablieren Osimertinib als neuen Therapiestandard für Menschen mit nicht-resezierbarem, EGFR-mutiertem, nicht-kleinzelligem Lungenkarzinom im Stadium III, die nach definitiver Radiochemotherapie progressionsfrei sind. Auf der ASCO-Tagung wurden diese beeindruckenden Ergebnisse besprochen.

Hodgkin Lymphom: BrECADD-Regime übertrifft die Erwartungen

05.06.2024 ASCO 2024 Kongressbericht

Das Kombinationsregime BrECADD mit Brentuximab vedotin ermöglichte in der Studie HD21 beim fortgeschrittenen klassischen Hodgkin-Lymphom eine unerwartet hohe progressionsfreie Überlebensrate von 94,3% nach vier Jahren. Gleichzeitig war das Regime besser tolerabel als der bisherige Standard eBEACOPP.

Antikörper-Drug-Konjugat verdoppelt PFS bei Multiplem Myelom

05.06.2024 ASCO 2024 Nachrichten

Zwei Phase-3-Studien deuten auf erhebliche Vorteile des Antikörper-Wirkstoff-Konjugats Belantamab-Mafodotin bei vorbehandelten Personen mit Multiplem Myelom: Im Vergleich mit einer Standard-Tripeltherapie wurde das progressionsfreie Überleben teilweise mehr als verdoppelt.

Neuer TKI gegen CML: Höhere Wirksamkeit, seltener Nebenwirkungen

05.06.2024 Chronische myeloische Leukämie Nachrichten

Der Tyrosinkinasehemmer (TKI) Asciminib ist älteren Vertretern dieser Gruppe bei CML offenbar überlegen: Personen mit frisch diagnostizierter CML entwickelten damit in einer Phase-3-Studie häufiger eine gute molekulare Response, aber seltener ernste Nebenwirkungen.
