This study compared fetal thymic-thoracic ratios and fetal thymus transverse diameter measurements in pregnant women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and non-immune hypothyroidism.
The study included a total of 141 pregnant women in three groups: 41 with HT, 50 with non-immune hypothyroidism, and 50 healthy individuals. Fetal thymus transverse diameter and thymic-thoracic ratio were compared between these groups.
The mean fetal thymic-thoracic ratio was greater in pregnant women with HT than in the healthy controls (p = 0.031). Mean fetal thymus transverse diameter showed no statistically significant difference between the groups.
Maternal HT was associated with an increased fetal thymic-thoracic ratio. More comprehensive studies are needed on this subject.
本研究比较了桥本甲状腺炎（HT）和非免疫性甲状腺功能减退症孕妇的胎儿胸腺-胸比率和胎儿胸腺横径测量值。
该研究共纳入三组 141 名孕妇：41 名 HT 孕妇、50 名非免疫性甲状腺功能减退症孕妇和 50 名健康对照者。比较了这些组之间的胎儿胸腺横径和胸腺-胸比率。
HT 孕妇的胎儿胸腺-胸比率大于健康对照组（p=0.031）。各组间胎儿胸腺横径无统计学差异。
母体 HT 与胎儿胸腺-胸比率增加有关。需要对此主题进行更全面的研究。
