Popis: Abstract Background The association between isolated maternal hypothyroxinemia (IMH) and adverse pregnancy outcomes is still controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the association between IMH during the first trimester and adverse pregnancy outcomes in southern Chinese women. Methods This was a hospital-based, retrospective cohort study. The records of 7051 women, including 1337 IMH women and 5714 euthyroid women who had a singleton pregnancy and accepted routine prenatal service at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 2015 to September 2018, were extracted from the electronic medical records system in this study. Thyroid functions [thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4) and anti-thyroperoxidase autoantibody (TPO-Ab)] had to be measured before 13 weeks and 6 days of gestation. The chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were applied to evaluate the association between IMH during the first trimester and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Results Prepregnancy obesity [prepregnancy body mass index (preBMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2] was found to be more common in the IMH group (11.2% vs. 6.1%) (P
