All patients identified in the neonatal screening programme for congenital hypothyroidism in Northern Ireland between 1983 and 1993 were reviewed. 131 infants were recalled because of TSH elevation of whom 85 proved to have true permanent congenital hypothyroidism, while 44 had transient TSH elevation and 2 cases died before the diagnosis could be confirmed. TSH elevation at presentation was milder in the transient group and these infants were more likely to be unwell and/or suffering from congenital malformation.
对1983年至1993年间在北爱尔兰先天性甲状腺功能减退症新生儿筛查项目中确诊的所有患者进行了回顾性研究。131名婴儿因促甲状腺激素(TSH)升高被召回,其中85名被证实患有真正的永久性先天性甲状腺功能减退症,44名促甲状腺激素呈短暂性升高,2例在确诊前死亡。初诊时,短暂性促甲状腺激素升高组的TSH升高程度较轻,这些婴儿更有可能身体不适和/或患有先天性畸形。
