摘要:
目的 研究孕期妇女甲状腺激素敏感性与出生结局的关系。 方法 依托武汉市大型出生队列,以符合入选标准的5 411对孕妇-新生儿为研究对象。利用孕期体检的血清三碘甲状腺素(free triiodothyronine, FT3)、游离甲状腺素(free thyroxine, FT4)和甲状腺刺激激素(thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH),计算甲状腺激素中枢敏感性的指标:促甲状腺激素指数(thyroid stimulating hormone index, TSHI)、促甲状腺激素细胞-T4抵抗指数(thyrotroph thyroxine resistance index, TT4RI)和甲状腺反馈分位数指数(thyroid feedback quantile-based index, TFQI)。结局指标包括出生体重、出生孕周、出生体重Z评分,以及低出生体重、早产和小于胎龄儿(small for gestational age, SGA)。分别利用多元线性回归、logistic回归分析模型对甲状腺指标和出生结局中的连续型变量、分类变量进行回归分析,并控制可能混杂因素。 结果 FT4、TSHI、TFQI与出生体重和出生体重Z评分呈负相关(均P≤0.01);甲状腺激素敏感性指标TSHI、TT4RI、TFQI与SGA存在统计学意义的正相关(TSHI: OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.12~2.06, P<0.01; TT4RI: OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.03~1.29, P=0.02; TFQI: OR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.10~1.81, P<0.01);甲状腺功能和甲状腺激素敏感性与低出生体重、早产的差异均无统计学意义。将妊娠合并甲状腺功能减退(甲减)人群排除后进行敏感性分析,研究结果一致。 结论 孕期妇女甲状腺激素敏感性受损是不良出生结局SGA的独立风险因素。 Abstract:Objective The objective of this study was to explore the association between sensitivity to thyroid hormones during pregnancy and birth outcomes. Methods A total of 5 411 pairs of mother-newborn from large birth cohorts in Wuhan were included based on the inclusion criteria. The thyroid hormones sensitivity indicators, including thyroid stimulating hormone index (TSHI), thyrotroph thyroxine resistance index (TT4RI), and thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI) were calculated based on values of thyroid function indicators free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) which were detected during routinely prenatal care. The outcomes included birth weight, gestational duration, birth weight Z-score, low birth weight, preterm birth, and small for gestational age (SGA). Multiple linear regression and logistic regression were used to assess associations of exposures with continuous and categorical outcomes, respectively, adjusting for potential confounders. Results FT4, TSHI, TFQI were significantly negatively associated with birth weight and birth weight Z-score (all P≤0.01). Higher TSHI, TT4RI, TFQI were associated with higher risk of SGA (TTSHI: OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.12-2.06, P<0.01; TT4RI: OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.03-1.29, P=0.02; TFQI: OR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.10-1.81, P<0.01). No thyroid indicators were significantly related to low birth weight or preterm birth. The associations were almost unchanged when pregnant women with hypothyroidism were excluded. Conclusions Impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones during pregnancy is an independent risk factor of SGA. -
