TPO antibody status prior to first radioactive iodine therapy as a predictive parameter for early hypothyroidism in graves’ disease

Verdickt Sebastien , Van Nes Falco , Moyson Carolien , Maes Toon , Van Crombrugge Paul , Van den Bruel Annick , Decallonne Brigitte

Introduction: Several studies identified pre-treatment parameters that could help in the prediction of the thyroid functional outcome after radioactive iodine therapy (RAI) in Graves’ disease. However, the role of the thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO Ab) status is not well studied.Objectives: We investigated if a positive TPO Ab status before radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy in patients with Graves’ hyperthyroidism is a predictive factor for de...

TPO antibody status prior to first radioactive iodine therapy as a predictive parameter for hypothyroidism in Graves’ disease

Sebastien Verdickt , Nes Falco Van , Carolien Moyson , Toon Maes , Crombrugge Paul Van , den Bruel Annick Van , Brigitte Decallonne

Objective: We investigated if a positive thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO Ab) status before radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy in patients with Graves’ hyperthyroidism is a predictive factor for developing hypothyroidism after RAI.Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients with Graves’ hyperthyroidism with known TPO Ab status, receiving a first administration of RAI. Patients from 4 thyroid outpatient centres in Belgium receiving a f...

Aims: To identify factors associated with early postpartum weight retention (PPWR) in women with recent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods: Multicentric prospective study in women with a recent history of GDM based on the IADPSG criteria at the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) 6-16 weeks postpartum. Data obtained from electronic medical records, self-administered questionnaires, clinical examination and blood sample collection were used for th...

Aims: To determine predictors of neonatal adiposity and differences in associations by fetal sex in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), normal-weight and overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m²) normal glucose tolerant women (NGT).Methods: Skinfold thickness was measured in 576 newborns, and cord blood leptin, c-peptide and lipids in 327 newborns in a multi-centric prospective cohort study.Results: Compared to ...

Fasting plasma glucose level to determine the need for an OGTT to screen for gestational diabetes mellitus

Kaat Beunen , Astrid Neys , Paul Van Crombrugge , Carolien Moyson , Johan Verhaeghe , Sofie Vandeginste , Hilde Verlaenen , Chris Vercammen , Toon Maes , Els Dufraimont , Christophe De Block , Yves Jacquemyn , Farah Mekahli , Katrien De Clippel , Den Bruel Annick Van , Anne Loccufier , Annouschka Laenen , Roland Devlieger , Chantal Mathieu , Katrien Benhalima

Aims: To determine the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level at which an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) could be avoided to screen for gestational diabetes (GDM) and to evaluate the characteristics of women across this FPG threshold.Methods: A multi-centric prospective cohort study (BEDIP-N) with 1843 women receiving screening for GDM with a 75g OGTT.Results: A FPG < 78 mg/dl was the FPG cut-off with the best trade-off to limi...

Characteristics, pregnancy outcomes and tolerance of screening tests according to the preference of women for the method of GDM screening

Lore Raets , Marie Vandewinkel , Paul Van Crombrugge , Carolien Moyson , Johan Verhaeghe , Sofie Vandeginste , Hilde Verlaenen , Chris Vercammen , Toon Maes , Els Dufraimont , Block Christophe De , Yves Jacquemyn , Farah Mekahli , Katrien De Clippel , Den Bruel Annick Van , Anne Loccufier , Annouschka Laenen , Roland Devlieger , Chantal Mathieu , Katrien Benhalima

Aims: To compare the characteristics, pregnancy outcomes and tolerance of screening tests between women who prefer a two-step screening strategy with a glucose challenge test (GCT), women who prefer an one-step screening strategy with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and women without clear preference for screening method for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods: 1803 women from a Belgian multi-centric prospective cohort study (BEDIP-N study...

Aim: To determine the association between thyroid function and the risk for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and adverse pregnancy outcomes.Methods: This case-control study was a sub-analysis of the BEDIP-N study, in which 199 GDM women were matched for age and body mass index with 398 controls. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4), free triiodothyronine (fT3), and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies were measured at 6-14 weeks and ...
