Key clinical point: Exposure to computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) in pregnant women with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) did not lead to neonatal hypothyroidism among newborns.
Major finding: In newborns from pregnant women with suspected PE who underwent CTPA, all reported Guthrie levels were below 15 U/mL, with no newborns with neonatal hypothyroidism (0.0%, 95% CI 0.0%-2.5%).
Study details: The data come from a prospective management outcome study that evaluated 149 pregnant women (including 14 with twin pregnancies) with suspected PE who underwent CTPA.
Disclosures: This study was supported by grants from the Swiss National Foundation for scientific research, Groupe d'Etude de la Thrombose de Bretagne Occidentale, and International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis Presidential Grant. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
