The centre confirmed that, except for 2 newborns with patent ductus arteriosus missed in the diagnosis of ventricular septal defect combined with severe pulmonary hypertension, newborns with other iso...
The "twelve-section method" is suitable for screening neonatal CHD at the grassroots level. The establishment of a hierarchical management system for CHD screening and treatment is conducive to the sc...
Hearing loss in children affects cognitive development, so early detection is crucial. It is because of the lack of portable technology that the majority of hearing problems go undetected. The authors...
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a group of inborn errors of immunity (IEI) characterized by severe T- and/or B-lymphopenia. At birth, there are usually no clinical signs of the disease, but...
Universal ultrasonographic screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) has gained increasing popularity despite the lack of benefit in terms of reducing the rates of late-detected cases (ag...
To report the reported incidence of DDH in the English scientific literature and compare rates of late-detected cases in settings with different DDH screening strategies....
PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched on November 25 and 27, 2021. No time filters were used in the search....
All observational studies reporting the incidence of early-detected or late-detected (age ≥12 weeks) DDH were included. Non-English reports were excluded if the abstract did not include enough informa...
The number of newborns screened and the detection rates were extracted. Meta-analysis calculated the pooled incidence of DDH per 1000 newborns with 95% CIs using a random- or fixed-effects model. This...
The main outcome measures were early detection, early treatment, late detection, and operative treatment incidences....
A total of 1899 studies were identified, 203 full texts were assessed, and 76 studies with 16 901 079 infants were included in final analyses. The early detection rate was 8.4 (95% CI, 4.8-14.8) infan...
This meta-analysis found that early detection rates and nonoperative treatments were higher with universal screening. The late detection and operative treatment rates with universal screening were sim...
Extreme hyperbilirubinemia leading to neurologic disability and death is disproportionately higher in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) such as Bangladesh, and is largely preventable through tim...
530 Bangladeshi women in their second or third trimester of pregnancy from the rural community of Sakhipur, Bangladesh will be recruited for a cluster randomized trial and randomized to the interventi...
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of CHW-led home phototherapy to increase neonatal hyperbilirubinemia treatment rates in rural Bangladesh. LMICs are expanding access to postnatal care by usi...
This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of France's neonatal hearing loss screening programme years after its launch, and to estimate permanent bilateral neonatal hearing loss (PBNHL) prevalen...
This descriptive study used aggregated regional data on all births in France in 2015-2016. Screening coverage, refusal rate, positive predictive value (PPV), proportion of children with suspected PBNH...
Eight hundred thousand neonates were eligible for the screening programme per year. Between 2015 and 2016, screening coverage increased (83.3% vs. 93.8%; p < 0.001), and the refusal rate remained stab...
The national target of 90% screening coverage was exceeded. The additional test could be useful to avoid overcrowding in diagnostic structures. Diagnostic data quality must be improved to confirm PBNH...
Hearing loss is a global social burden. Early identification of hearing loss missed by newborn hearing screening tests in the neonatal intensive care unit is crucial....
To assess the association between expanded genomic sequencing combined with hearing screening and detection of hearing loss as well as improvement in the neonatal intensive care unit....
This cohort study was performed between August 8, 2016, and December 31, 2020, among 8078 newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the Children's Hospital of Fudan University in Shangh...
A hearing screening test and the expanded genomic sequencing targeting 2742 genes were administered to each patient. Those who failed the hearing screening test or had positive genetic findings were r...
The primary outcome was hearing loss missed by hearing screening test. Secondary outcomes were genetic findings and benefits associated with the expanded genomic sequencing for clinical management of ...
Of 8078 patients (4666 boys [57.8%]; median age, 6.3 days [IQR, 3.0-12.0 days]), 52 of 240 (21.7%) received a diagnosis of hearing loss. Expanded genomic sequencing combined with hearing screening was...
