Abnormal findings on neonatal screening-ICD-10-CM GUIDELINES BY BHARATH KUMAR MEDESUN STUDENT

2.  Newborn screening is a public
health program of screening in infants shortly
after birth for a list of conditions that are
treatable, but not clinically evident in the
newborn period.
 Some of the conditions included in newborn
screening programs are only detectable after
irreversible damage has been done, in some
cases sudden death is the first manifestation
of a disease.

3.  Screening programs are often run by state or
national governing bodies with the goal of
screening all infants born in the jurisdiction.
 The number of diseases screened for is set by
each jurisdiction, and can vary greatly.

4.  Most newborn screening tests are done by
measuring metabolites and enzyme activity
in whole blood samples collected on
specialized filter paper, however many areas
are starting to screen infants for hearing
loss using automated auditory brainstem
response and congenital heart defects
using pulse oximetry.
