Title: Screening of newborns for congenital hypothyroidism in Croatia--organization and first results.
Abstract: In 1985 a newborn screening programme for the detection of congenital hypothyreosis was introduced in Croatia in addition to the already existing one for phenylketonuria. The paper delineates the organization of the screening programme, the method used, and the first results. Clinical manifestations, somatic and mental development, as well as laboratory findings of the first eleven children with congenial hypothyroidism detected by the screening programme and followed-up regularly are presented in more detail.
