It affects approximately 5-7% of women of reproductive age and may negatively influence outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART). During controlled ovarian stimulation, rising estradiol increases thyroxine-binding globulin and thyroid hormone requirements. These physiological changes, combined with increased metabolic demand in early pregnancy, may worsen SCH and contribute to adverse outcomes such as miscarriage, preterm birth, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.\n\nAlthough levothyroxine (LT4) is routinely used to treat overt hypothyroidism, evidence for its benefit in SCH, especially among infertile women undergoing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) with frozen embryo transfer (FET), remains inconclusive. Some trials and meta-analyses have shown reductions in miscarriage and neonatal mortality, while others have found no improvement in ART or obstetric outcomes.\n\nThis study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of levothyroxine therapy on IVF\u002FFET outcomes and subsequent pregnancy results in women with subclinical hypothyroidism and infertility. This retrospective cohort study will emulate the target trial to evaluate whether LT4 treatment, titrated to achieve a pre-transfer TSH \\\u003C 2.5 mIU\u002FL, improves implantation, live birth, and obstetric outcomes compared with expectant management.",[26,27,28,29,30,31],"Subclinical Hypothyroidism","Infertility","Assisted Reproductive Technology","In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)","Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection","Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)",[33,26,27,34,35,36,37,38,28,39,40,41,42],"Levothyroxine","Thyroid Disorders","IVF","ICSI","Frozen Embryo Transfer","FET","Live Birth","Miscarriage","Pregnancy Outcomes","Thyroid Autoimmunity","RECRUITING","2026-01-13",{"date":46,"type":47},"2026-01-14","ACTUAL",{"date":49,"type":47},"2019-01-01",{"date":51,"type":22},"2026-03-30",{"name":53,"class":54},"Mỹ Đức Hospital","OTHER",2]
