The incidence of congenital hypothyroidism at Ramathibodi Hospital was approximately 1:2,486-1:3,843 livebirths, comparable to those found in other industrialized countries. The screening program utilizing TSH measured by a kit manufactured in Thailand was accurate and cost-benefit. It is time to organize TSH screening at least in a university hospital in Thailand to prevent the social burden of raising mentally-handicapped children.
拉玛蒂博迪医院先天性甲状腺功能减退症的发病率约为每2486-3843例活产中有1例，与其他工业化国家的发病率相当。利用泰国生产的试剂盒检测促甲状腺激素的筛查项目准确且具有成本效益。现在是时候至少在泰国的一家大学医院组织促甲状腺激素筛查，以防止抚养智障儿童带来的社会负担。
