Association between thyroid-stimulating hormone and maternal hemodynamics in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: an observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are characterized by hemodynamic disturbances. Altered thyroid function is a risk factor for poor outcomes of pregnancy. However, the associations between thyroid function biomarkers and maternal hemodynamics during pregnancy in HDP remain unclear.

Methods

From January 2016 to January 2018, pregnant women diagnosed with HDP admitted to the Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital were prospectively enrolled in the third trimester. Normally distributed variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and skewed variables were expressed as median (25th percentile, 75th percentile). Correlations between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or free thyroxine (FT4) and maternal hemodynamic parameters were assessed by
