Abstract
PURPOSE: Studies on the effects of I-131 therapy on pregnancy outcomes after differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) surgery showed inconsistent findings. The purpose of the study was to investigate the association between I-131 therapy and pregnancy outcomes in female DTC patients. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and VIP were searched until November, 2020. Keywords included differentiated thyroid cancer, thyroid carcinoma, thyroid neoplasm, radioiodine, I-131, 131I, pregnancy outcomes, reproduction, fertility, abortion, preterm birth, and congenital malformation. Studies that provided the pregnancy outcomes in DTC patients who received I-131 therapy and those who did not receive I-131 therapy were included. Meta-analysis was performed in Stata/SE 12. A random or fixed effects model was adopted according to the result of heterogeneity test. RESULTS: Seven observational studies were eligible, involving 125,591 participants and 13,811 pregnancies. It showed that postoperative I-131 therapy for DTC had no significant effect on spontaneous abortion (OR = 1.05, P = 0.701), induced abortion (OR = 1.06, P = 0.859), abortion (OR = 1.07, P = 0.098), premature birth (OR = 1.02, P = 0.756), stillbirth (OR = 1.58, P = 0.364), and congenital malformation(OR = 1.00, P = 0.986). Cumulative RAI dose >3.7 GBq or <3.7 GBq had no significant effect on abortion (OR = 0.94, P = 0.252) and congenital malformation (OR = 1.05, P = 0.752).The group in which interval time between last I-131 therapy and pregnancy >1 year had significant lower risk of abortion than with interval <1 year (OR = 0.60, P = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS: Pregnancy is not recommended for DTC patients within 1 year after I-131 therapy.
