Abstract: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a common endocrine disorder that can be treated if timely detected by newborn screening, optimizing the developmental outcome in affected children. In the present study, we analyze the data of the national newborn thyroid screening program in North Macedonia collected over twenty years, including the CH prevalence as well as its geographical and ethnic variations.
