Abstract: Objective: To investigate the correlation between thyroid dysfunction and missed abortion. Methods:We choosed 95 patients diagnosed missed abortion whose gestational age less than 12 weeks as observation group, while 92 patients who have normal pregnancy as control group. Chemiluminescence method was used to detect the serum levels of thyrotropin hormone (TSH), free thyroxine(FT4) and thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) in the two groups. Results:Comparing the incidence of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and low thyroxine in both group, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). There were statistical differences of subclinical hypothyroidism and positive TPOAb incidence rate between observation group and control group(P<0.05), and they have weak correlations with missed abortion (correlation coefficients were 0.21 and 0.22). Conclusions:There is correlation between thyroid dysfunction and missed abortion, the incidence of missed abortion is increased in subclinical hypothyroidism and positive TPOAb, so we should carry out the relevant checks thyroid function in pregnancy to reduce the incidence of missed abortion.
