About this study

Official title: Thyroid Disease in Pregnancy and Its Impact on the Quality of Life

Natural thyroid function changes during pregnancy. In up to tens of percent of pregnant women, these changes can lead to pathological fluctuations in hormone and antibody production. Although the effects on pregnancy and child development are well described, none has determined their influence on mother's emotional well-being and the quality of life.

At present, universal thyroid screening in pregnancy in the Czech Republic is not covered by health insurance. The aim of the project is to change this situation by providing quality of life estimate for the cost-effectiveness model.

This is a project of three specialized institutions aimed at mapping various aspects of the quality of life of pregnant women and describing the impact of thyroid disease on their lives. The project is a parallel study to a larger project Early screening for thyreopathy in pregnancy (CZ.03.2.63/0.0/0.0/15_039/0009643) supported by the European Fund Operational Programme Employment through the National screening centre. The data will be collected through online questionnaire from women enrolled in the Early screening for thyreopathy in pregnancy (CZ.03.2.63/0.0/0.0/15_039/0009643) who were screened for TSH, TPOAb and FT4.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT04167423

HealthyNo thyroid disease in pregnancy defined as plasma TSH (thyrotropin), TPOAb (thyroperoxidase auto antibodies) or FT4 (free thyroxin) out of the ranges proposed by 2014 European Thyroid Association Guideline.
hyperthyroidismThyroid disease in pregnancy defined as plasma TSH, or FT4 out of the ranges proposed by 2014 European Thyroid Association Guideline.
hypothyroidismThyroid disease in pregnancy defined as plasma TSH, or FT4 out of the ranges proposed by 2014 European Thyroid Association Guideline.
thyroid autoimmunityThyroid disease in pregnancy defined as plasma TPOAb out of the ranges proposed by 2014 European Thyroid Association Guideline.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Utility by five-dimensional five-level generic EuroQoL questionnaire (EQ5D 5L)

    Health-related quality of life measured as EQ5D 5L questionnaire, score 1 is the best and -0,594 the worst

    Measured: Immediately after the reception of laboratory results

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Thyroid-Related Quality-of-Life Patient-Reported Outcome questionnaire short form (ThyPRO-39)

    Health-related quality of life measured as ThyPRO-39 questionnaire, each domain scores between 0 and 100. The higher the score the worse the symptoms.

    Measured: Immediately after the reception of laboratory results
