- W2040251978 abstract "Postpartum thyroid dysfunction (PPTD), diagnosed using biochemical criteria, is usually transient with a wide range of reported prevalence rates. The specific clinical and psychiatric morbidity associated with PPTD is still uncertain. The aims of the study were to determine the point prevalence of PPTD in Australian women at 6 months postpartum and to assess the specific clinical and psychiatric morbidity in these women.Women who were Caucasian, aged 20-45 years and 4.5-5.5 months postpartum, were randomly selected and invited into the study. The respondents were assessed for biochemical and psychiatric morbidity. PPTD for this study was defined as TSH or free T4 outside the adult reference range. A double blind clinical assessment of PPTD women and their matched controls used standardized clinical hypo- and hyperthyroid clinical indices.From the total randomly selected sample size of 1816 women, 748 participated.Biochemical measurements were serum TSH, free T4, microsomal antibody (MsAb) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), and thyroid receptor antibodies (only in women with low TSH). Psychiatric assessment involved screening all participants using the General Health Questionnaire 28, followed by classifying and quantifying severity of cases using DSM-III-R categories for depression and anxiety. Clinical signs and symptoms of hypo- and hyper-thyroidism were measured using weighted standardized indices. Thyroid size was assessed by palpation. Achilles tendon reflex time was measured by photomotograph.The prevalence of PPTD in the participants was 11.5% (95% CI 9.2-13. 8%), giving a minimum prevalence for the randomly selected sample of 4.7% (95% CI 3.7-5.7%). In the PPTD women, 54% had an elevated TSH, 30% had a suppressed TSH and the remainder had a low fT4 and normal TSH. Positive thyroid autoantibody titres in the PPTD group were 46. 5% for microsomal antibody (MsAb) and 63.9% for thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), and in the non-PPTD group were 1.7% and 4.9%, respectively. The 6 month point prevalence rates of depression, generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder and/or agoraphobia were 9.4%, 1.4% and 3.1%, respectively. No relationship was found between PPTD status and the diagnosis of current depression or between thyroid antibody status and current depression. In women who were diagnosed as anxious at the time of assessment, the number of anxiety symptoms was higher in the PPTD group (P < 0.05). There was no difference in signs and symptom scores for the hypo- and hyper-thyroid clinical indices between PPTD women and their controls.This study has shown a high prevalence of postpartum thyroid dysfunction but there was no difference in the clinical and psychiatric signs and symptoms between cases and controls. In the social, psychological, physical and endocrine setting of the postpartum period, women with postpartum thyroid dysfunction are identifiable by the attending physician only by their abnormal thyroid function tests." @default.
