The primary thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) screening has become standard in many parts of the world. Worldwide, the inidence if CH is 1 in every 3000 births, in iodine deficiens areas the incidence has been reported to be as high as 1 in 600 births. In Surabaya, there were no data of CH. Objective: To determine the prevalence of congenital hypothyroidism in Dr. Soetomo Hospital. Methods: All neonate in Dr Soetomo Hospital between August to November 2015 were screened. All neonate 48-72 hours after birth had their heel's blood taken in plain tubes and sent to the laboratory, where at least 100 µL of serum was obtained. TSH level categorized in 3 groups including >20, 15-20 and <15 µU/mL. The descriptive statistic analysis was performed using SPSS version 16.0. All the baby with TSH level >20 µU/mL need further confirmation. Results: One hundred and sixty six neonates were included. One hundred and fivety nine neonates with TSH level below 15 µU/mL six neonates with TSH level between 15-20 µU/mL, and one neonate with TSH level above 20 µU/mL (22, 10 µU/mL) which already confirmed as normal result. Conclusion: Screening congenital hypothyroidism in Dr.Soetomo Hospital is regularly performed. The prevalence of Congenital Hypotyhroidism was 0.6%. However, further evaluation still needed.
