ABSTRACT Objective: The incidence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) varies globally. This 5-year study aimed to determine the prevalence of permanent CH in the southwest of Iran. Materials and methods: Between January 2007 and December 2009, all newborns in Ahvaz, the biggest city in the southwest of Iran, were screened for CH using a heel-prick sample for thyrotropin (TSH) levels. Subjects with TSH ≥ 5 mU/L were evaluated for T4-TSH. Infants with T4 10 mU/L, and normal T4 but persistent (> 60 days) high TSH were considered to have CH. After the third birthday, treatment was discontinued, and T4-TSH was reevaluated; subjects with TSH ≥ 10 mU/L were investigated using thyroid Tc99 scintigraphy (TS). Based on TS, they were classified as no...
