i am trying to find out some information about neonatal screening...I am trying to find out whether early discharge affects PKU and galactosemia and other neonatal screening tests.
Also, I read in Pediatrics for Medical students, that if a baby is not fed milk for 48 hours, these tests could be inaccurate.
The reason I am confused is because where I did my peds/ob rotations, the babes were sent home in 48 hours and i did not hear any talk of retesting these babes in the office.
i am confused and annoyed because i can't find this info online...someone help
