Abstract

Background and Aim: CONGENITAL HYPOTHYROIDISM (CH) is among the most common endocrine disorders in children and a preventable cause of mental retardation. The present study was performed to determine the prevalence and related risk factors of hypothyroidism in NEONATEs in SOUTH KHORASAN.Materials and Methods: This descriptive-retrospective study was conducted on the data collected through the Neonatal CH Screening Project in SOUTH KHORASAN during four years (March 2006-March 2010). NEONATEs whose TSH of the heel blood was ³5 mU/L were recalled and if the serum TSH was ³10 mU/L they were accounted as hypothyroid cases. Finally, SPSS software was used to analyze the obtained data.Results: From 38987 NEONATEs, 1248 cases (3.21%) were recalled and serum TSH of 71 NEONATEs was ³10 mU/L which was a symptom of hypothyroidism. In the initial screening of hypothyroidism in NEONATEs TSH of the heel blood in 45% was found to be 5-10 mU/L, in 20% it was 10-19.9, and in 35% it was ³20. Prevalence of the disease was 1 in 549 living births. Hypothyroidism in boys was 6% more than girls.98.6% of the sick NEONATEs’ mothers did not have hypothyroidism 50.7 % of the cases lived in city.Conclusion: Regarding the significance of the disease in developing mental retardation, it is necessary to persuade parents to have their NEONATEs take part in neonatal hypothyroidism screening plan.
