Hipotireoidismo congênito: recomendações do Departamento de Tireoide da Sociedade Brasileira de Endocrinologia e Metabologia

Abstract: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common congenital endocrine disorder, with an incidence of 1:2,000 to 1:4,000 live births and it is a leading preventable mental retardation. Neonatal Screening Programs allow early identification of the disease and the adequate treatment of affected children can avoid the complications related to deprivation of the hormone. Most cases of primary congenital hypothyroidism (85%) are due to thyroid dysgenesis (ectopia, hypoplasia or agenesis) while the remaining result … Show more

“…Currently, CH has a worldwide incidence of 1 in approximately 3,500 live births 4 . A similar incidence has been observed in Brazil, where the estimated rates range from 1:2,595 to 1:4,795 live births 1,18 . In the PNTN, CH is screened by dosing thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) with filter paper.…”

“…The cutoff of confirmatory serum TSH of 10 µU/mL would imply a loss of 70 cases of permanent conditions (23 CH and 47 hyperthyrotropinemia). We also found that 15.2% of the children with serum TSH levels between 4.2 and 6 µU/mL would not have been diagnosed if the TSH cutoff point was 6 µU/mL, according to the national recommendation (22).…”

“…Early diagnosis and treatment of children with CH bring enormous benefits to the family and community, as they avoid social, emotional and financial costs through prevention of intellectual disability (4) . However, although early screening programs for CH have proven effective in reducing intellectual disability, the key issue is identifying neurocognitive sequelae, even the subtlest ones, which may persist despite early treatment (2,(4)(5)(6)9,11,19) . Studies have reported that individuals with CH may present attention, memory, visuocognitive, visuospatial and psychomotor disorders (1,10,12,14,(18)(19)(20)24) .…”

“…Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a pediatric endocrine disorder characterized by insufficient thyroid hormone production caused by thyroid dysgenesis or dysormonogenesis (1)(2)(3) . Its incidence is of approximately 1 in 3000-4000 newborns, with a two to three-fold higher prevalence in females (4)(5)(6) . It is the leading cause of preventable intellectual disability when diagnosed and treated early (4,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) .…”
