The lack of a national policy on newborn screening (NBS) in the United States has resulted in 51 state-specific NBS policies (including 50 states and the District of Columbia). In 2000, a working group of the American Academy of Pediatrics provided a national NBS blueprint for the future. Using this guidance, the Health Resources and Services Administration contracted with the American College of Medical Genetics to: (i) develop a decision-making algorithm for states to use in selecting conditions for screening panels, and (ii) recommend a panel of tests to guide states in their screening requirements. This report outlines and summarises the processes and outcomes leading to the current NBS recommendations in the United States.
美国缺乏新生儿筛查（NBS）的国家政策，导致 51 个州特定的 NBS 政策（包括 50 个州和哥伦比亚特区）。2000 年，美国儿科学会的一个工作组为未来的国家 NBS 蓝图提供了指导。利用这一指南，卫生资源和服务管理局与美国医学遗传学学院签订合同，（i）为各州制定一个决策算法，用于筛选条件的筛选小组，以及（ii）推荐一组测试，以指导各州的筛选要求。本报告概述并总结了导致美国目前 NBS 建议的过程和结果。
