Neonatal screening for congenital hypothyroidism began in Italy in 1977 and then progressively developed covering 94% of live births in 1991. The National Register of infants with congenital hypothyroidism was established in 1987 as a project of the Health Ministry. The results of the Register provided valuable epidemiological information about congenital hypothyroidism in Italy and evidenced some aspects in the screening organization which had to be improved. Discussion of Register data during annual national meetings has recently allowed an improvement of the screening program with particular regard to the beginning of therapy with L-thyroxine and its dose.
意大利于1977年开始进行先天性甲状腺功能减退症的新生儿筛查，随后逐步发展，到1991年涵盖了94%的活产婴儿。先天性甲状腺功能减退症患儿国家登记册于1987年作为卫生部的一个项目设立。该登记册的结果提供了有关意大利先天性甲状腺功能减退症的宝贵流行病学信息，并证明了筛查组织中一些需要改进的方面。最近，在年度全国会议上对登记册数据的讨论使筛查计划得到了改进，特别是在左甲状腺素治疗的开始时间及其剂量方面。
