52 Pregnancy Page 48
53 Pregnancy and the Thyroid Pregnancy has a profound impact on the thyroid gland and thyroid function tests Serum TBG concentrations rise almost two-fold because estrogen increases TBG production To maintain adequate free thyroid hormone concentrations during this period, T 4 and T 3 production by the thyroid gland increase Total T 4 and T 3 concentrations rise during the first half of pregnancy, plateauing at approximately 20 weeks of gestation, at which time a new steady state is reached and the overall production rate of thyroid hormones returns to prepregnancy rates Considerable homology between the beta-subunits of hcg and TSH. As a result, hcg has weak thyroid-stimulating activity National Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases Information Service. Pregnancy and Thyroid Disease.

56 Hypothyroidism in Pregnancy Subclinical hypothyroidism has an estimated prevalence of 2-3% Overt hypothyroidism is seen in about % of pregnancies The most common cause of hypothyroidism is the autoimmune disorder known as Hashimoto s thyroiditis Endemic iodine deficiency accounts for most hypothyroidism in pregnant women worldwide while chronic autoimmune thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in iodine sufficient parts of the world Page 51
57 Complications of Hypothyroidism in Pregnancy Maternal complications: miscarriages anemia pre-eclampsia abruptio placenta postpartum hemorrhage Neonatal complications: premature birth low birth weight increased neonatal respiratory distress Page 52
58 Hyperthyroidism in Pregnancy Hyperthyroidism occurs in about % of all pregnancies The most common cause of maternal hyperthyroidism during pregnancy is the autoimmune disorder Graves disease Must be distinguished from gestational transient thyrotoxicosis, a self-limiting hyperthyroid state due to the thyroid stimulatory effects of beta-hcg Untreated hyperthyroidism is associated with an increased risk of severe pre-eclampsia and up to a four-fold increased risk of low birth weight deliveries Thyroid.

63 Children are not small adults Thyroid function abnormalities are among the most common endocrine problems in children Children s thyroid hormone levels show a clear age dependency. Therefore age-specific reference intervals are critical for proper clinical interpretation of test results One of the most challenging aspects of establishing pediatric reference intervals is the availability of well-characterized healthy pediatric samples and sufficient blood volume to conduct studies across multiple assays Repeated requests from our global customers over the years have been to establish Siemens system specific pediatric thyroid reference intervals We are pleased to announce the launch of Siemens Thyroid Pediatric Reference Intervals Page 57
64 Project Objective Objective To design and run appropriate studies to establish pediatric reference intervals for thyroid hormones across all major Siemens platforms for infant, child and adolescent age groups Scope Assays: 3 rd Gen TSH, FT4, FT3, T 4, T 3 IA Systems: ADVIA Centaur systems, IMMULITE 2000*, Dimension Vista, Dimension EXL (T4 extended to RxL, Xpand) Age Groups: Infants (1 23 mo), children(2 12 yr), adolescents (13 20 yr) IFU updates with claims after FDA 510K clearance * data not yet available Page 58
65 Study Design Study Design: 8 collection sites used across the US to collect samples Samples were aliquoted and shipped frozen to one laboratory for testing Testing was conducted in batch, and run in singleton on the Siemens platforms listed previously Samples were tested with handling conditions recommended for each assay as per the IFU Sample size total per platform: ADVIA Centaur: 391 Dimension Vista: 422 Dimension EXL: 408 Statistical Approach: For the 2-12 yr and yr old age groups, the lower and upper reference limits were established as the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the test result distribution For the infants, the lower and upper reference limits were estimated as the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the distribution produced by the robust method For the child and adolescent subgroups, where >120 subject results were available, a nonparametric approach was used (CLSI guideline) For the infant subgroup where <120 subject results were available, a robust approach by Horn and Pesce were used Page 59
