OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper was to describe the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) by the Neonatal Screening Program in the Autonomous Community of Madrid during the state of alarm due to the COVID-19 health crisis.
METHODS: The data were extracted from the retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with CH and treated at the Clinical Diagnosis and Follow-up Center of CH located in the Pediatric Endocrinology Unit of the General University Hospital Gregorio Marañon.
RESULTS: During the period between March 14 and June 21, 2020, 7 neonates were diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism. The Screening Center contacted the Clinical Diagnosis and Follow-up Center urgently, with the location and clinical assessment of the patient on the same day, performing the usual complementary examinations in all of them according to clinical pathway. The median age of diagnosis was 15.5 days (range 7.00-24.00). The subsequent clinical and analytical follow-up was carried out in all cases according to the recommended times. All patients presented normalization of the thyroid function after two weeks of treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: All patients seen at the Congenital Hypothyroidism Clinical Diagnosis and Follow-up Center during the alarm state period were diagnosed, treated and reevaluated following the usual clinical pathways without incidents. The current epidemiological situation of the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the correct functioning of the circuit of the Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening Program in less favorable circumstances.
