摘要Of 48 consecutive newborns with elevated umbilical venous plasma thyrotropin (TSH) concentration, only two (4%) were subsequently proved to have congenital hypothyroidism, while the other 46 had transient elevation of TSH. Compared with matched controls, these 46 newborns were all delivered vaginally (P < 0.0003) and had a longer second stage of labour (P < 0.002), together with higher incidences of nuchal encirclement of the cord (P < 0.05) as well as female babies (P < 0.05). There was no difference in the incidence of antenatal complications, mean gestational age, birth weight, or birth asphyxia. There were no small-for-gestational age infants in the study group, while four were found in the controls. The results indicate that elevated umbilical cord plasma TSH concentration may represent a response to the stress of difficult or complicated delivery in the healthy appropriate- or large-for-gestational age newborn who does not have congenital hypothyroidism.
