| Core Tip |
Chen et al identified thyroid-stimulating hormone ≥ 3 mIU/L and thyroid peroxidase antibody ≥ 7 U/mL as independent predictors for adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) in postpartum depression (PPD). While this underscores the thyroid-PPD link, reliance on universal, fixed thresholds is problematic. Pregnancy induces profound, individualized thyroid physiological changes, making static cut-offs potentially misleading for risk stratification. Future research must prioritize trimester-specific reference ranges and longitudinal biomarker profiling to capture dynamic thyroid-autoimmune interactions and refine personalized prediction models for PPD and APOs. |
