Abstract
Incidence of congenital hypothyroidism varies across countries
and different geographic regions. A retrospective analysis of cord
blood thyroid stimulating hormone values, and their subsequent
follow-up, was done in a tertiary-care center in Kerala, India.
Congenital hypothyroidism was found at the rate of 1 in 244, which
is higher than reported incidence from other centers.
