A pilot cord blood TSH screening program for congenital hypothyroidism was commenced in Hong Kong in April 1982. By April 1984, 14 411 neonates born in two hospitals were screened for this disorder. Five cases of primary hypothyroidism and two cases of transient hypothyroidism were detected. The detection of cases of congenital hypothyroidism with only moderately elevated cord blood TSH values means that the recall rate will remain high.
1982年4月，香港启动了一项针对先天性甲状腺功能减退症的脐血促甲状腺激素筛查试点项目。到1984年4月，对两家医院出生的14411名新生儿进行了该疾病的筛查。检测出5例原发性甲状腺功能减退症和2例暂时性甲状腺功能减退症。仅通过脐血促甲状腺激素值中度升高就检测出先天性甲状腺功能减退症病例，这意味着召回率将居高不下。
