This study reveals a high incidence of congenital hypothyroidism (1 in 400 Live births) in Jordan, a significant increase from previously reported rates. It emphasizes the importance of TSH screening with a cutoff of < 5 mIU/L and advocates for further investigation into the underlying causes and risk factors for CH in the Jordanian population. |
