Neonatal thyroid screening: Relationship between cord blood thyroid stimulating hormone levels and thyroid stimulating hormone in heel prick sample on 4 th to 7 th day-of-life

“…[2] Similar results, with lower recall rate associated with primary TSH screening, were also reported from India. [3] Hardy et al .…”

“…Different strategies are suggested for thyroid hormone estimation in the sample obtained at birth using cord blood or later in the neonatal period. [1234] The study estimates the correlation between the serially monitored levels of thyroid stimulating hormone in serum obtained from cord blood (TSH-CB) and heel prick (TSH-HP) at 4 th to 7 th day-of-life.…”

Thyroid stimulating hormone levels in cord blood are not influenced by non-thyroidal mothers' diseases

“…We have previously demonstrated that, although both strategies are able to detect all cases of hypothyroidism, umbilical cord blood is technically superior to heel puncture and primary TSH clearly reduces the recall index for confirmation of the results. 13 Infants born prior to term have lower cord serum T 4 concentrations that correlate with gestational age or birth weight.…”

Iodine Nutritional Status in Schoolchildren from Public Schools in Brazil: A Cross-Sectional Study Exposes Association with Socioeconomic Factors and Food Insecurity

“…Thyrotropin (TSH) measurements were performed according to Ward et al (30). In summary, whole blood was collected with a lancet from the children's finger and dropped on SS 903 filter paper.…”
