Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Intellectual Function of Children at 5 Years of Age in Women Diagnosed With a) Subclinical Hypothyroidism or b) Hypothyroxinemia During the First Half of Pregnancy, or Death.
The primary outcome was death or IQ score at 5 years of age (or at 3 years of age if the 5-year examination was missing). The full-scale IQ was assessed with the use of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence III (WPPSI-III) at 5 years of age or the overall (general conceptual ability) score from the Differential Ability Scales-II at 3 years of age if the WPPSI-III score was not available. Results are expressed as an age-standardized score, with an expected population mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Death before 3 years of age was assigned a score of 0 (lowest possible rank) and was included in the estimation of the median. For Quotient and Composite score: below 70 is Extremely Low, 70-79 is Borderline, 80-89 is Low Average, 90-109 is Average, 110-119 is High Average, 120-129 is Superior, 130+

Secondary Outcome Measures

Week of Gestation at Delivery
Gestational age at delivery and preterm birth < 37 weeks' gestation or < 34 weeks' gestation
Number of Participants With Preterm Delivery
Preterm delivery at less than 37 weeks or less than 34 weeks gestation
Selected Cognitive Abilities From the Subscales of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI-III)
Standardized full-scale IQ scores from the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence III (WPPSI-III) at 5 years of age. Quotient and Composite scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Subtest scaled scores have a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 3. For Quotient and Composite score: below 70 is Extremely Low, 70-79 is Borderline, 80-89 is Low Average, 90-109 is Average, 110-119 is High Average, 120-129 is Superior, 130+ is Very Superior.
Cognitive and Achievement Levels From the Differential Ability Scales (DAS II)
Overall general conceptual ability score as measured by the DAS-II at 36 months of age. GCA General Conceptual Ability Classification ≥ 130 Very high 120-129 High 110-119 Above average 90-109 Average 80-89 Below average 70-79 Low ≤ 69 Very low
Cognitive and Achievement Levels From Two DAS-II Subtests (Recall of Digits Forward and Recognition of Pictures)
Cognitive and achievement levels from two DAS-II subtests (Recall of Digits Forward and Recognition of Pictures) GCA General Conceptual Ability Classification ≥ 130 Very high 120-129 High 110-119 Above average 90-109 Average 80-89 Below average 70-79 Low ≤ 69 Very low
Cognitive, Motor and Language Scale Scores From the Bayley Certified Scales of Infant Development III Edition
Composite scores are derived for cognitive, language, and motor development and scaled to a metric, with a mean of 100, standard deviation of 15, and range of 40 to 160. Results can also be expressed as percentile ranks relative to the standardization sample, with a mean and median of 50 and range from 1 to 99
Behavioral Problems and Social Competencies at 36 and 60 Months of Age, as Measured by the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)
Behavioral problems and social competencies at 36 and 60 months of age, as measured by the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The CBCL is filled out by the caregiver. Each of the 100 questions indicates a behavior for which the caregiver scores as Not True (0), Sometimes True (1), or Often True (2). The scores for all the questions are then summed and evaluated against the normative data/T-scores. A Tscore of less than 60 is considered to be in the normal range. A T score of 60-63 is a borderline, and a T score of more than 63 is in the clinical range. Lower scores represent better outcomes.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Index Score From the Connors' Rating Scales (Parent-S) - Revised
The Conners' Rating Scales-Revised were used to assess attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A T score of 45 to 55 is considered to be typical or average; a T score of 44 or less is not a concern, a T score of 56 to 60 is considered to be a borderline score, and a T score of 61 or higher indicates a possible or clinically significant problem.
Participants With Placental Abruption
Clinically significant placental abruption will be determined by centralized (blinded) chart review
Participants With Gestational Hypertension
Gestational hypertension defined as patient having a diastolic ≥ 90 during pregnancy without proteinuria

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treating women, who are diagnosed with a mild imbalance of thyroid hormones during pregnancy, with thyroid hormone replacement affects their children's intellectual development at 5 years of age.
Detailed Description
Published research reports have stimulated national and international controversy regarding the value of maternal thyroxine therapy given to improve neurodevelopment of the fetus in women with variously defined hypothyroidism. These reports have led to conflicting and confusing recommendations as to whether or not all pregnant women in the U.S. should be screened for subclinical hypothyroidism or hypothyroxinemia. Pregnant women less than 20 weeks gestation will have a blood test to screen for subclinical hypothyroidism or hypothyroxinemia. If eligible for the trial, patients will receive levothyroxine or placebo until delivery. Blood draws will be done at monthly study visits and the dosage will be adjusted based on test results. The children of these patients will have developmental testing done annually until they are 5 years of age. Comparison(s): thyroxine supplementation versus placebo given during pregnancy to determine whether therapy is effective in improving intellectual ability at 5 years of age.
