Effectivity of Neonatal Thyroid Screening Test in All Patients at a Tertiary Hospital

Abstract

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the most common preventable causes 
of intellectual disability. Early detection through neonatal thyroid screening enables timely 
treatment, improving neurodevelopmental outcomes. Universal screening in the neonatal 
period is recommended, yet its implementation and yield vary across centers.
