AbstractBackground:Early diagnosis and expeditious treatment of newborns with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is necessary to avoid mental retardation.Methods:A survey of 44 practitioners in the southern US was conducted to better understand common practices regarding neonatal CH and the findings were compared with current guidelines in the US and Europe.Results:Responses indicated some consensus that 10–15 μg of thyroid hormone/kg/day was the appropriate dosage. However, despite guidelines advocating their use, practitioners reported that they did not commonly use imaging or laboratory tests, though experienced providers apparently used them more often.Conclusions:Together, these results show moderate adherence to published guidelines for treating and diagnosing CH. Further research is needed to determine why providers deviate from these guidelines and to generalize these results to other populations.

Congenital hypothyroidism is a cause of mental retardation and has nonspecific signs and symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for the normal development of children affected by this disorder. The objective of this study was to evaluate theincidence of changes in the screening tests of public hospitals in Presidente Prudente, the average age of the newborn at the time of collection of tests and confirmation of the diagnosis. A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the data of newborns who underwent the “heel prick test” by the unified health system in 2017. Of the 3,351 evaluated, 48 had elevated levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone(TSH), 13 had the diagnosis confirmed congenital hypothyroidism. It was 61.54% the children that returned between days 16 and 30 to confirm the result and 23.07% that returned after 61 days. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential, as they enable mitigating actions for the serious cognitive and behavioral disorders of affected patients.
