Article Synopsis
- The study investigates factors that can predict whether children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) will have transient (TCH) or permanent (PCH) forms of the condition.
- Researchers reviewed records of 111 children diagnosed with CH from 1996 to 2017, discovering that nearly half had TCH while the others had PCH.
- Key prognostic factors for TCH included prematurity, twin pregnancies, low birth weight, and a specific lower levothyroxine dosage during treatment, which can help guide doctors in managing these children's health.
