Newborn screening (NBS) is a population-

based, preventive public health program

carried out in many countries throughout

the world

Newborn screening

Page 3: Newborn screening kuwait

Newborn screening is a public

health system made up of many

different yet integral parts

Page 4: Newborn screening kuwait

The primary goal of newborn

screening is the early

identification of affected

infants in time to prevent

serious health problems.

Newborn screening

Page 5: Newborn screening kuwait

To help children to have the best start in lifethrough timely newborn screening, early diagnosis and

treatment.

The cost of missing one of these conditions is immense

, both in human suffering and in financial terms.

Untreated infants can develop mental retardation,

serious health problems, or even die,

sometimes without a diagnosis

Newborn screening

Why ?

Criteria of diseases selected (WHO 1960)

• The condition should be an important health problem.• There should be an accepted treatment for patients with recognized disease.

• Facilities for diagnosis and treatment should be available.• There should be a recognizable latent or early symptomatic state.

• There should be a suitable test or examination.• The test or examination should be acceptable to the population.

• The natural history of the condition, including development from latent todeclared disease, should be adequately understood.

• There should be an agreed policy on whom to treat as patients.

• The cost of case finding (including diagnosis and treatment of patientsdiagnosed) should be economically balanced in relation to possible expenditureon medical care as a whole.

• Case-finding should be a continuing process and not a “once and for all”project.

Most of diseases included in the screening program

are autosomal recessive

Technique

DELFIA :

Dissociation Enhanced Lanthanide Flurescence Immunoassay

Arrived in : 2005

Tandem ms/ms :

Electrospray double mass-spectrophotometer

Arrived : 2014

Newborn screening

Page 12: Newborn screening kuwait

Criteria for technique selection :

Acceptable sample collection and transportation.

Rapid (turn around time).

Sensitive ( very low false negatives).

Specific ( very low of false positives).

Cheap ( cost-effective).

Newborn screening

1963: Guthrie test: One test/One disease

Sample prep: two hours

Manual Sample analysis: 48 hours

High False positive and false negative results

1994:ESI-MS/MS test: One test/30 diseases

Sample prep: two hours

Automated Sample analysis: 2 minutes

Low false positive and false negative results

Please use the term “Newborn Screen.” The

term “Genetic test” is confusing.

Newborn screening

NBS has usually referred to biochemical testing for

inherited “metabolic” disorders, that are correctable

by dietary or drug intervention

Page 15: Newborn screening kuwait

The ideal sample should be collected

between (48-72hour) of age .

Newborn screening

Page 16: Newborn screening kuwait

Early discharge

Before 24 hrs. there are false positive TSH , 17OH

progesterone & MMA/PPA

Also false negative PKU & TYR1

Otherwise refusal of parents to come back to the hospital

If the baby discharge

before 24 hrs. of age

provide them with a

referral form to the

office to collect

another

Premature baby

Newborn screening Samples screened

for 22 disorder

through Tandem

and DELFIA

technique

High

risk

The results of the screening tests are reviewed by a

biochemistry consultant in Al-sabah laboratory to

determine if the infant has :

A lower risk of having a disease (“screen negative”) or

A higher risk of having a disease (“screen positive”).

The positive results repeated two times

before informed to newborn screening

offices

If confirmed as positive screen reports send

to NSOs to evaluate the baby clinically and

collect confirmatory samples

REPORT

Page 36: Newborn screening kuwait

Screening is a semi-quantitative test affected by several issues e.g.

quality of the blood spot,

time of sample collection,

quality of sample prep,

condition of instrument diet of baby,

birth weight,

gestational age,

& others….

Newborn screening

Page 37: Newborn screening kuwait

It is important to highlight that

Screening does not cover all metabolic diseases and

that diagnosis is presumptive

screening may yield false-negative or false-positive

results

It is very important to indicate that a firm

diagnosis can only be reached after confirmation

Confirmatory testing can be done by same

technology or different approach on blood spot,

urine, plasma…
