Introduction: To clarify the uncertain association between maternal total triiodothyronine (TT3) levels and preeclampsia risk.
Methods: In a hospital-based cohort of pregnant women with universal thyroid testing, we assessed the association between TT3 and preeclampsia using directed acyclic graphs (DAG) to control confounders.
Results: Maternal TT3 levels were associated with preeclampsia risk, with an adjusted odd ratio (OR) of 2.
