ABSTRACT
Different diagnoses of thyroid disease are available in the 10th International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), but the validity of diagnoses related to obstetric and postpartum thyroid disease is unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of all patients in the North Denmark Region with a diagnosis of postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) (ICD-10 O905) from 2016 to 2019 or obstetric thyroid disease in 2019 (ICD-10 O992B (hypothyroidism) or O992C (hyperthyroidism)) registered in the Danish National Hospital Register. Information from nationwide registers and medical records were used to assess the validity. Among patients with an O905-diagnosis (n = 40), abnormal thyroid function test results were seen in all cases. A total of eight patients (20.0%) were positive for thyrotropin receptor antibodies postpartum, however, in low titers, and PPT was verified in 39 of 40 cases (97.5%). Altogether 45 of 50 patients with an O992B-diagnosis (90.0%) correctly had hypothyroidism, whereas hyperthyroidism was found in 25 of 39 patients with an O992C-diagnosis (64.1%). This is the first study to validate ICD-10 diagnoses of obstetric and postpartum thyroid disease. A high validity was seen for PPT (O905) and obstetric hypothyroidism (O992B), whereas for obstetric hyperthyroidism (O992C), the diagnosis could not be verified in one third of the cases.
