Results: During the years of this study, the prevalence of NB reported as suspected with CH was 1:1220 NB, showing a stable trend on the linear tendency analysis; when adjusted for cases with confirmed high values of TSH in umbilical cord measurement, the prevalence is 1:3041 NB. Regarding the demographic data of the patients analyzed, it was found 54% were men and 46% women. Of the total CH cases with a reported weight, 20% weighted less than 2500 grams. 97.8% of the cases were isolated, without any other metabolic or anatomical birth defect. The mean maternal age was 26.9 (SD 6.7) years. 17.7% of the cases had mothers with housing in a rural area.
Discussion: The prevalence of confirmed CH cases with high TSH umbilical cord values is similar to that reported in other studies, although the prevalence of suspected cases is higher than expected. Studying the behavior of this event makes it possible to guide health actions to reduce said disease burden. Furthermore, future guidelines should seek to reduce underreporting, creating an opportunity for improvements in newborn screening.
