MQMaelle QuenetSLStéphanie LerouxCBClaude Bendavid

Key Points

  • To assess current practices and inconsistencies in newborn screening for congenital hypothyroidism across France.
  • Nationwide survey of screening practices for congenital hypothyroidism
  • Assessment of TSH thresholds and thyroxine measurement methods
  • Evaluation of preterm infant management in screening
  • Significant variations in TSH thresholds across different regions
  • Differences in thyroxine measurement techniques observed
  • Preterm infant management practices were inconsistent, affecting diagnostic outcomes

Abstract

This nationwide survey highlights substantial heterogeneity in congenital hypothyroidism screening practices across France. Variations in TSH thresholds, thyroxine measurement, and preterm infant management may impact diagnostic consistency and equity. Harmonization efforts based on evidence are needed to optimize neonatal screening performance nationally.
