The correlation between the level of depression and serum level of triiodothyronine(T3),tetraiodothy-ronine(T4),and thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)in patients with postpartum depression
Objective To explore the correlation between postpartum depression and different levels of depres-sion with serum levels of triiodothyronine(T3),tetraiodothyronine(T4),and thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH).Methods From August 2022 to August 2023,110 postpartum women with depression were included as the depression group,and 90 postpartum women without depression during the same period were included as the non depression group.Detect and compare the levels of serum T3,T4,and TSH between two groups,and compare the baseline data and serum T3,T4,and TSH levels of postpartum depression women with different degrees of depression.The correlation between serum T3,T4,TSH levels and postpartum depression in parturients was analyzed using Spearman rank cor-relation analysis.Results The results showed that the levels of serum T3,T4,and TSH were lower in the depressed group compared to the non depressed group(P<0.05).The serum levels of T3,T4,and TSH in the mild group were higher than those in the moderate group,while the serum levels of T3,T4,and TSH in the moderate group were high-er than those in the severe group(P<0.05).The levels of serum T3,T4,and TSH are negatively correlated with the degree of postpartum depression in postpartum women,and P<0.05.Conclusion The levels of serum T3,T4,and TSH are negatively correlated with the degree of depression in postpartum depressed women,which can reflect the se-verity of their depression.Clinical monitoring should be closely monitored.
