Evaluation of TSH cutoff value in blood-spot samples in neonatal screening for the diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism in the Programa "Primeiros Passos" - IEDE/RJ

CONCLUSION: TSH-BS cutoff value used is crucial in the diagnosis of CH and should be low, even if more confirmatory tests are performed. More studies are needed to determine the best cutoff value of TSH-BS for neonatal screening.
