Abstract

Objective: Thyrotoxicosis can adversely affect pregnancy. The quality of care (QoC) for thyrotoxicosis in pregnancy at a tertiary care safety net hospital was evaluated based on current guidelines.

Methods: Pregnant patients with thyrotoxicosis or a history of Graves disease who delivered in 2015-2021 were divided into 3 groups: low thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), active Graves disease, and past Graves disease. The QoC was assessed using thyroid hormone and thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) levels, fetal ultrasound, and endocrine referrals. We assessed potential impacts of race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES).

Results: We included 147 subjects (mean age 31.5 years, 76% Black, 86% non-Hispanic). Of patients with low TSH (n = 95), 75% had repeat TSH measurements and 33% had TSI measured. Hispanic patients were more likely to have TSI and repeat TSH measured than non-Hispanics (58% vs 29%; P = .04, and 100% vs 71%; P = .03, respectively). In patients with active Graves disease (n = 23, 70% treated with thionamides), 35% had free thyroxine levels at goal and 90% had endocrine care or referral. In patients with past Graves disease (n = 27), 56% had TSI measured, 78% had first-trimester TSH measurements, and 58% had TSH at goal. Black patients were less likely to have TSH checked in the first trimester than other races (85% vs 100%, P = .048).

Conclusion: The QoC of thyrotoxicosis in pregnancy at this tertiary care center can be improved. A larger study is needed to assess the potential impacts of race and SES on the care of pregnant patients with thyrotoxicosis.

评估一家城市安全网医院对甲亢孕妇的护理质量。
背景介绍甲亢会对妊娠产生不利影响。根据现行指南,对一家三级安全网医院的妊娠期甲亢护理质量(QoC)进行了评估:将2015-2021年分娩的甲亢或有巴塞杜氏病史的孕妇分为三组:低促甲状腺激素、活动性巴塞杜氏病和既往巴塞杜氏病。通过甲状腺激素和促甲状腺免疫球蛋白(TSI)水平、胎儿超声波检查和内分泌转诊来评估QoC。我们评估了种族/民族和社会经济地位(SES)的潜在影响:我们纳入了 147 名受试者(平均年龄 31.5 岁,76% 为黑人,86% 为非西班牙裔)。在 TSH 偏低的患者(95 人)中,75% 的患者重复测量了 TSH,33% 的患者测量了 TSI。西班牙裔患者比非西班牙裔患者更有可能测量TSI和重复测量TSH(分别为58% vs 29%; p=0.04和100% vs 71%; p=0.03)。在活动性巴塞杜氏病患者中(人数=23,70%接受硫酰胺类药物治疗),35%的患者FT4水平达到目标,90%的患者接受了内分泌治疗或转诊。在既往患过巴塞杜氏病的患者中(人数=27),56%的患者测量了TSI,78%的患者在第一次怀孕时测量了促甲状腺激素,58%的患者促甲状腺激素达到目标水平。与其他种族的患者相比,黑人患者在妊娠头三个月进行 TSH 检测的可能性较低(85% vs 100%,P=0.048):结论:该三级医疗中心的妊娠期甲亢质量控制水平有待提高。需要进行更大规模的研究,以评估种族和社会经济地位对甲亢孕妇护理的潜在影响。
