Enhancing TSH-based congenital hypothyroidism screening using machine learning and resampling algorithms
These machine learning algorithms show no missed cases of CH and are able to significantly improve performance across robust testing. The findings suggest that machine learning offers a promising avenue for refining TSH-based CH screening processes, reducing false positives, and alleviating unnecessary stress and costs associated with current methods used by the majority of newborn screening programs globally.
