Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) classification according to different dbs–TSH cutoff values in Greece and Lombardy. Observe the prevalence of dysgenetic CH using a dbs–TSH cutoff of 20 mU/L and the shift toward a higher prevalence of GIS defects in the same newborn population by lowering the dbs–TSH cutoff at 10 mU/L.
