Screening for congenital hypothyroidism [PDF]
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1977 The development of efficient micromethod assay systems for thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone makes possible detection of this condition in the neonate, when clinical signs seldom arouse suspicion. Starting treatment by age three months has been shown to prevent severe intellectual deficit; thus mass screening can be considered cost ...

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2008
Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the most common preventable causes of mental retardation with a worldwide incidence of 1:4000 live births. Ideally universal screening at 3-4 days of age should be done for detecting CH. Abnormal values on screening (T4 < 6.5 ug/dL, TSH > 20 micro/L) should be confirmed by a venous sample (using age appropriate ...

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is defined as thyroid hormone deficiency present at birth. Babies with CH who are not identified and treated promptly develop severe mental retardation. Most of the babies with CH do not manifest the typical known signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism, and this is most likely due to transplacental passage of some maternal ...

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the commonest preventable cause of mental retardation in human species. It is so important for clinician to know its etiology epidemiology, clinical manifestation and treatment strategies. Since it is one of the rare serious diseases that should not be diagnosed clinically because late clinical features corresponds to ...

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1982
Availability of sensitive radioimunoassays for T4 and TSH has simplified the detection and treatment of congenital hypothyroidism. Early diagnosis by newborn screening and prompt treatment should minimize the serious complications of mental retardation.

Because of the lack of signs and symptoms in the first weeks of life, the most important tool for the early diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism is a newborn screening program.

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

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 ...

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 ...

Hearing in Congenital Hypothyroidism
International Journal of Audiology, 1983The hearing profile of children with congenital hypothyroidism was studied in 45 patients with thyroid gland agenesis, hypogenesis or dyshormogenesis, during adequate substitution therapy. Preliminary, secretory otitis media was found in 6 patients under the age of 6 years; in these children, hearing assessment was performed after cure of the middle ...
