Newborn disease screening was performed 72 hours after birth. 20 days later, the results showed positive for hypothyroidism. Is the accuracy rate of this test done at birth high? Reviewing it requires courage!Doctor's answer:
Hello. It is a pleasure to assist you. Generally, fetal development may be affected at home. The baby may also experience developmental issues and low birth weight. If development is normal, it is recommended to review the guidance: The exam results are still relatively accurate. However, there may be abnormal cases. Therefore, it is best to review it again. If abnormalities still exist during the review, early intervention treatment can still better avoid delays in the baby's condition.
