Abstract Background Thyroid dysfunction is known to adversely affect pregnancy. This study evaluates the prevalence of thyroid disorders and explores their association with pregnancy complications/comorbidities and modes of delivery in the Maltese pregnant population over a ten year period. Design A population based observational study. Method We analysed data from the National Obstetrics Information Service of the Department of Health Informations and Research (NOIS) for all births delivered in Malta between 2006 and 2016. Cases identified and recorded by NOIS to have had some form of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy were confirmed by cross-referencing with laboratory results found in patients’ medical records and/or iSOFT® database system. Using the Statistical Package for the Social sciences (SPSS®) demographic data, past obstetric and medical history and obstetric outcomes were analysed for pregnancies with thyroid dysfunction and compared to data pertaining to pregnancies in euthyroid patients, that is those with no recorded thyroid dysfunction on NOIS. Chi square/Fisher's exact test were used to compare categorical variables while ANOVA/Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare continuous variables. Statistical significance was defined by a two-sided p value |
