Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1986
The 1980s have seen widespread growth in the screening of newborn infants for congenital hypothyroidism (CH). By 1982 it was estimated that 7‐9 million infants were screened annually.1 There has been further expansion since 1982, not only in communities with highly developed public health programmes, but also in less developed centres.2 Experience from

Congenital hypothyroidism and HLA
Tissue Antigens, 1982HLA‐A, B and C antigens tested in 97 patients treated for congenital hypothyroidism, and in members of their families, are compared with normal frequencies from 635 controls. After adjustment for the number of tests, there remains in the patients only a negative association with A11, with a relative risk of 190, and no significant association in the ...

HYPERPROLACTINAEMIA IN CONGENITAL HYPOTHYROIDISM
Clinical Endocrinology, 1986SUMMARYSerum prolactin concentrations were measured in nine untreated hypothyroid infants and 23 euthyroid controls. In the former group the serum prolactin concentrations were tenfold higher than the controls (352 vs 34 μg/1), declining gradually upon treatment.

Imaging in congenital hypothyroidism
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2019Purpose of review Congenital hypothyroidism is a common worldwide condition. Due in part to increasingly widespread newborn screening, the number of patients with this diagnosis is increasing. In this review, we discuss currently available imaging techniques and the benefits and limitations of these techniques in evaluating ...

Electrocochleography in Congenital Hypothyroidism
Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1978SUMMARYDeafness in association with hypothyroidism has been well described. Animal experiments have demonstrated alterations of the normal electrocochleographic wave pattern in hypothyroidism and its correction with thyroid replacement therapy. In the present study a similar electrocochleographic response in a child with congenital hypothyroidism is ...

Congenital hypothyroidism in Iran
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2003Following elimination of iodine deficiency in Iran, the program of screening for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) was established in 1998. The descriptive findings of the study are reported here.From February 1998 to June 2001, cord blood spot samples from 8 hospitals and a rural birth center in Tehran and Damavand were collected and tested for TSH ...

Congenital Hypothyroidism in Kuwait
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1989During a 7-year period (1981-1987), 25 children with congenital hypothyroidism were diagnosed in a regional hospital in Kuwait. The calculated incidence was 1:3476 live births. The diagnosis relied on clinical manifestation and confirmed by thyroid function tests. The age at diagnosis ranged between 3 weeks and 7 years with a mean of 18.5 months. Seven

Epidemiology of congenital hypothyroidism
Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology & Diabetes, 2009According to world-wide data obtained from neonatal thyroid screening programs congenital hypothyroidism (CH) occurs with an incidence of 1:3000 to 1:4000. Differences of CH-incidence are more likely due to iodine deficiency thyroid disorders or to the type of screening method than to ethnic affiliation.

Jaundice and Congenital Hypothyroidism
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1965THE HIGH INCIDENCE of prolonged neonatal jaundice in infants with congenital hypothyroidism, documented by Aakerren1and confirmed by Christensen,2requires reemphasis. Since jaundice may be the first sign of congenital hypothyroidism,3this possibility must be kept in mind in the investigation of any case of jaundice in infancy.

2015Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a condition of thyroid hormone deficiency present at birth. According to the duration of thyroid hormone deficiency, it may be classified into permanent and transient CH. According to the anatomic location of the pathogenic defect, CH may be further classified into primary, secondary (or central), and peripheral CH ...
