Özet

Objective: Prevalence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in Turkey at birth was reported to be as high as 1: 650 in 2008-2010. Incidence rates of permanent and transient CH separately are unknown due to lack of follow-up data. We aimed to evaluate the impact of transient hypothyroidism on increasing incidence of CH and to determine the natural course and the clinical, biochemical, and imaging characteristics of transient CH.
