Overt hyperthyroidism has well-documented adverse impacts on pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth, congenital anomalies and pre-eclampsia <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib2">2</a>–<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib4">4</a>. Therefore, despite its rarity, proper management of hyperthyroidism during pregnancy is of utmost importance. Medical therapy is preferred by most authorities because radioiodine is contra-indicated and because thyroidectomy requires pre-treatment with antithyroid drugs and may be complicated by surgical adverse effects <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib5">5</a>. The available antithyroid drugs (ATDs) are propylthiouracil (PTU) and methimazole (MMI)/carbimazole (CZ). These drugs are equivalent in terms of their efficacy for the treatment of clinical hyperthyroidism <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib6">6</a>. Concerning hyperthyroidism during pregnancy, some reports suggest an association between a specific congenital malformation (MMI embryopathy) and prenatal exposure to MMI <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib7">7</a>. The specific malformation pattern related to prenatal MMI exposure consists of choanal and esophageal atresia, scalp defects, minor facial anomalies and psychomotor delay <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib8">8</a>. The reported facial anomalies typically include upward slanted palpebral fissures, arched flared eyebrows and a small nose with a broad bridge <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib9">9</a>. A recent study conducted by Anderson et al. demonstrated that ventricular septal defect (VSD) is another component of MMI embryopathy <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib10">10</a>. Compared with non-exposure, exposure of children to MMI/CMZ during early pregnancy (up to and including gestational week 10) is associated with an increased risk of VSD. PTU may be safer than MMI, and PTU should be considered as the first-line agent for the treatment of hyperthyroidism during pregnancy <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib11">11</a>. In contrast, other studies have shown an equal risk of birth defects among pregnant women with hyperthyroidism treated with PTU or with MMI <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib12">12</a>, and several major birth defects have been observed in the offspring of women treated with PTU <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib13">13</a>. Unilateral kidney agenesis and malformations of the face and neck region have been associated with in utero exposure to PTU. In a case-control study conducted by Clementi et al., PTU exposure was significantly associated with an increased risk of situs inversus, with or without dextrocardia <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib6">6</a>. Recent animal studies have demonstrated that PTU is teratogenic during the late blastula, gastrulation and neurulation stages. PTU can alter ciliary-driven flow and can disrupt the normal genetic program involved in left-right axis determination <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib14">14</a>. Thus, there is no consensus regarding the best method of therapy for hyperthyroidism during pregnancy. In this study, we evaluated the association of either PTU or MMI treatment for hyperthyroidism during pregnancy with congenital malformations and conducted a systematic review.</p></span><span id="cesec20" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cestitle30">METHODS</span><span id="cesec30" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cestitle40">Literature search and study selection</span><p id="para20" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Relevant studies published until July 2014 were identified by searching Medline, PubMed, the Cochrane Library and EMBASE.

However, the evidence regarding the impact of ATDs such as PTU and MMI on pregnancy outcomes remains controversial. The preferred ATD during pregnancy in the USA is PTU, whereas in Europe, it is MMI <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib21">21</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib22">22</a>.</p><p id="para110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In this study, we compared the risk of congenital anomalies among pregnant women with hyperthyroidism classified into three groups: those receiving PTU treatment, those receiving MMI treatment, and those receiving either PTU or MMI first and then shifting to MMI or PTU, respectively. In addition, we enrolled two control groups in this study: completely healthy pregnant women and women with hyperthyroidism who were not exposed to any ATD. Severe hyperthyroidism during pregnancy typically causes various complications for both the mother and the fetus <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib23">23</a>. Thus, the pregnant women who were not exposed to any ATD either exhibited euthyroidism throughout pregnancy or exhibited hyperthyroidism that was observed late in pregnancy. The latter group of patients delivered before therapy.</p><p id="para120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Compared with hyperthyroid women not receiving an ATD or healthy pregnant controls, a significant increase in the rate of major anomalies was observed in those receiving MMI treatment. There was only a slight trend towards an increased risk of congenital malformations in infants whose mothers were treated with PTU compared with those whose mothers were healthy controls. The risk of birth defects for hyperthyroid women treated with PTU and those not receiving any ATD was similar. As the non-exposed group of women was largely healthy, the similar rates between the two aforementioned groups indicated that PTU was the preferred option according to the risk of congenital anomalies. However, one limitation to these studies was the confounding between the effect of hyperthyroidism itself and the effect of the drug in producing adverse fetal outcomes. It is reasonable to expect that the more severe examples of hyperthyroidism would be observed in the very women for whom drug treatment was prescribed, particularly at higher doses. Thus, the adverse fetal outcomes could have resulted from either the underlying severe hyperthyroidism or the treatment. To control for this confounding factor, we considered the eligible subjects for this study to be pregnant women with hyperthyroidism who received ATD treatment. Then, we compared PTU use with MMI use in relation to the overall rate of anomalies. Our data also supported the use of PTU. Taken together, these results indicated that PTU is a safer choice for the treatment of pregnant women with hyperthyroidism according to the risk of birth defects. This conclusion is in accordance with an American Thyroid Association statement supporting the use of PTU as the first-line agent for the management of hyperthyroidism during pregnancy <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib24">24</a>.</p><p id="para130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A recent systematic review conducted by Hackmon et al. also described the safety of MMI and PTU during pregnancy <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib25">25</a>. These authors concluded that MMI is a teratogen, which is consistent with our findings. In most cases associated with MMI embryopathy included in the case reports reviewed by Hackmon et al., exposure to MMI indeed occurred in the first trimester during the critical embryogenic period. In the present study, among the 6 studies examining the relationship of MMI exposure to the risk of birth defects, a total of 3 studies (Anderson et al., Yoshihara et al., and Momotani et al.) reported on the risk of congenital anomalies following intrauterine exposure in the first trimester. The findings of these studies showed that MMI treatment significantly increased the risk of congenital malformations. The remaining studies (Chen et al., Korelitz et al., and Wing et al), which did not describe whether ATD treatment was administered in the first trimester, failed to confirm a causal relationship between MMI and congenital malformations. This result was probably due to exposure after the period of organogenesis.</p><p id="para140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Shifts between PTU and MMI are not common in the treatment of patients with hyperthyroidism. Two of the included articles did not explain the reason that the doctors preferred to change the treatment, although this preference was likely related to potential concerns about the teratogenic effects of MMI in the first trimester and the hepatotoxicity of PTU during pregnancy <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib26">26</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib27">27</a>. Thus, it was suggested that in pregnant women, PTU use should be restricted to the first trimester, and MMI should then be used during the remainder of pregnancy to minimize potential risks to the fetus and the mother. Our study illustrated that shifts between MMI and PTU may confer little protection against birth defects. This conclusion is inconsistent with the previous study conducted by Hackmon et al., who demonstrated that PTU should be administered during the first trimester, followed by a switch to MMI for the remainder of the pregnancy. One possible explanation for this disagreement might be as follows: due to severe PTU-induced hepatotoxicity, women with hyperthyroidism might be treated with MMI, and the shift from MMI to PTU may only occur when they find out that they are pregnant. Thus, there is a high probability that exposure to MMI occurs during the critical embryogenic period (4 to 10 weeks) because under most circumstances, women are actually pregnant for more than one month before they find out that they are pregnant. For instance, one study included in our meta-analysis reported that the mean time from the beginning of pregnancy to the shift to PTU treatment was 44 days. In addition, considering shifts between PTU and MMI, there were two types of drug prescription patterns observed in the included studies: from PTU to MMI and from MMI to PTU. Therefore, we should examine whether the prevalence of birth defects differs according to type of ATD prescription pattern.</p><p id="para150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However, there is no evidence from current trials to guide the choice between PTU followed by a switch to MMI and vice versa. Thus, it is certain that changes in ATD prescription patterns are not necessary during pregnancy. To avoid shifts in ATD use, it is recommended that women of child-bearing age choose PTU treatment before pregnancy to minimize the potential risk of congenital malformations.</p><p id="para160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our research provides important population-based estimates of medication use that are relevant to the care of pregnant women with hyperthyroidism. However, a definitive answer to this question remains unclear because there are no available RCTs comparing antithyroid treatments in pregnant women with hyperthyroidism. Additional human epidemiology studies are needed, and new evidence-based recommendations should be developed for the treatment of women with hyperthyroidism during pregnancy.</p><p id="para170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Despite the lack of RCTs, we believe that our study provides potentially useful data to physicians prescribing ATDs to pregnant women with hyperthyroidism. The limited available evidence shows that PTU is a safer choice for treating pregnant women with hyperthyroidism according to the risk of birth defects but that shifting between MMI and PTU fails to provide protection against birth defects.</p></span><span id="cesec120" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cestitle130">AUTHOR CONTRIBUTIONS</span><p id="para180" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Li X conceived and designed the experiments.

There was only a slight trend towards an increased risk of congenital malformations in infants whose mothers were treated with propylthiouracil compared with in infants whose mothers were healthy controls (odds ratio 1.29, 95% confidence interval 1.07–1.55). The children of women receiving methimazole treatment showed an increased risk of adverse fetal outcomes relative to those of mothers receiving propylthiouracil treatment.</p><p id="spara100" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">We found that propylthiouracil was a safer choice for treating pregnant women with hyperthyroidism according to the risk of birth defects but that a shift between methimazole and propylthiouracil failed to provide protection against birth defects.</p></span>" ] ] "NotaPie" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "nota" => "<p class="elsevierStyleNotepara" id="cenpara10">No potential conflict of interest was reported.</p>" ] ] "multimedia" => array:6 [ 0 => array:7 [ "identificador" => "fig1" "etiqueta" => "Figure 1" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIAFIGURA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "figura" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "imagen" => "gr1.jpeg" "Alto" => 724 "Ancho" => 792 "Tamanyo" => 46543 ] ] "descripcion" => array:1 [ "en" => "<p id="spara10" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Flow chart of the literature search and article selection.</p>" ] ] 1 => array:7 [ "identificador" => "fig2" "etiqueta" => "Figure 2" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIAFIGURA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "figura" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "imagen" => "gr2.jpeg" "Alto" => 472 "Ancho" => 790 "Tamanyo" => 63582 ] ] "descripcion" => array:1 [ "en" => "<p id="spara20" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Forest plot of the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of the pooled studies.
