Resumen:
Background: Transient neonatal elevation of TSH (TNE-TSH) is defined as an abnormality in thyroid
function (TF) which reverses in confirmatory test. The risk of developing subclinical hypothyroidism
(SH) later in childhood has not been sufficiently studied.
Objective: To test the hypothesis that the TNE-TSH increases the relative risk (RR) for SH in
childhood.
Methods: Prospective cohort study. Infants born between 2005?2006 screened for hypothyroidism
at our hospital were included and re-examined six years later. We excluded premature
infants,
