PMID: 34714772Brief Summary: This retrospective multicenter study examined the biochemical and neurocognitive outcomes of n=254 patients with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) at age 3 years, treated with either LT4 drops (n=117) or LT4 tablets (n=137). Overall, neurocognitive outcome was not different between the two treatment gr...

To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2019;104:5765–5779.It is not clear whether retesting is needed for a healthy cotwin of a twin pair discordant for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) at the first neonatal screening. Medda et al. retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 47 twin pairs discordant for CH at the first neonatal screening. On follow-up, 7 (15%) of cotwins who were initially negatively screened then tested positi...
