Abstract
Background: Thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-Ab) is associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The present study was aimed to find out the prevalence of thyroid peroxidise antibodies (TPO-Ab) in the study population Methods: This cross sectional prevalence study was conducted on a total of 130 patients who had preterm deliveries, intra uterine deaths and miscarriages were included in the study for the period 8 months at a tertiary care hospital. Results: The prevalence of high TPO-Ab in the study population was 5.4%. The proportion of High TPO Ab was seen in women with preterm births followed by miscarriages and IUD of the study population. Conclusions: The association of TPOAb and TSH is strong and significant at p value is <0.000297 and it leads to developing hypothyroidism during pregnancy. The screening of TSH and TPOAb is essential during pregnancy to avoid complications related pregnancy.
