ABSTRACT
Between January 2000 and December 2002, 9,558 of 10,868 live births at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand, were screened for congenital hypothyroidism (CH). Dried blood spot thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) was collected at age 48 hours or older. The cut-off TSH level for recall test was > 25 mu/L. Serum thyroxine (T4), Free T4 and TSH were performed during the confirmatory test. Six of 24 infants recalled for confirmatory thyroid function tests had abnormal tests. Primary CH was confirmed in 3 infants and thyroxine treatment was given. Two of the three infants had thyroid dysgenesis, one had normal thyroid gland. Three infants showed borderline CH from the confirmatory test, only one had borderline CH from the second confirmatory test and also received thyroxine treatment. Twenty infants with false positives during the screening and confirmatory tests were regularly followed-up for growth, development and thyroid function tests. The incidence of primary CH in this sole tertiary care government hospital in Northeast Thailand was 13,186. Routine newborn CH screening would ensure early detection and treatment.
