Screening of newborn infants for hypothyroidism. Two years' experience in South Autralia.
Over a period of two years, 40,000 newborn infants in South Australia have been screened for congenital hypothyroidism by the measurement of thyroxine and, on selected samples, of thyroid stimulating hormone. Samples were those obtained for an established newborn screening programme in the State. Eight infants with hypothyroidism were detected; in seven, this was due to congenital agenesis of the thyroid gland and one infant had residual thyroid tissue. A further three sick infants had abnormalities of thyroid function; in two, this was transient and reverted to normal after several weeks and the third infant died. Three infants had thyroxine-binding globulin deficiency.

Statistical modelling in specific case analysis.
In spite of the problems associated with the development of a statistical approach in specific case analysis, the potential of two statistical methods, logistic regression and Bayesian belief networks, has been investigated and found encouraging in the context of a database relating to child murders with a sexual connotation. Continual collaboration between statisticians and detectives would be needed in the collection of the data, the choice and construction of the models, and the interpretation of the results.
