Targeted screening for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDdef) using fluorescent spot test (FST) is done in our newborn nursery (NN) and now in our NICU. Premature infants have higher G6PD levels than term infants. FST may result in under diagnosis of G6PDdef in preterms. We sought to determine if FST is appropriate for diagnosis of G6PDdef at<35 weeks and assess screening in NICU.
Retrospective chart review of male, inborn infants<35 weeks in NICU from 2008 to 2011. Difference in G6PDdef incidence<5% between NN and NICU was acceptable for equivalence.
Out of 679 subjects, 442 were screened for G6PDdef and 11.3% had abnormal results. Binomial testing comparing 11.3% (95% confidence interval (CI) 8.5 to 14.6) incidence of G6PDdef in NICU and reported incidence in NN (11%) demonstrated no difference. 12.2% of Black/African American males were not screened.
FST is appropriate for screening all at-risk newborns. A number of at-risk premature males were not screened.
在我们的新生儿病房(NN)以及现在的新生儿重症监护病房(NICU),采用荧光斑点试验(FST)对葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶缺乏症(G6PDdef)进行靶向筛查。早产儿的G6PD水平高于足月儿。FST可能导致早产儿G6PDdef诊断不足。我们试图确定FST是否适用于诊断孕周<35周的G6PDdef,并评估NICU中的筛查情况。
对2008年至2011年NICU中孕周<35周的男性出生婴儿进行回顾性病历审查。NN和NICU之间G6PDdef发病率差异<5%被认为具有等效性。
在679名受试者中,442人接受了G6PDdef筛查,11.3%的结果异常。对NICU中G6PDdef发病率11.3%(95%置信区间(CI)8.5至14.6)与NN报告的发病率(11%)进行二项式检验,结果显示无差异。12.2%的黑人/非裔美国男性未接受筛查。
FST适用于筛查所有高危新生儿。许多高危早产男性未接受筛查。
