TL;DR
With appropriate information provided and surveillance by tracking, high compliance with newborn screening can be achieved despite a written consent requirement.

375 Citations1993Donald H. Chace, David S. Millington +4 more
The accurate assay of both phenylalanine and tyrosine in dried blood spots used for neonatal screening for phenylketonuria in North Carolina successfully differentiated infants who had been classified as normal, affected, and falsely positive by current fluorometric methods.

The majority of economic evaluations failed to incorporate the health benefits from screening, and therefore failed to address the value of the information which the screening programmes provided to parents.

Clinical ChemistryRapid diagnosis of maple syrup urine disease in blood spots from newborns by tandem mass spectrometry
220 Citations1995Donald H. Chace, Steven L Hillman +4 more
A new method for the diagnosis of maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) from dried blood spots on newborn screening cards based on tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS), which results compare well with values previously reported in the literature.
Clinical ChemistryUse of phenylalanine-to-tyrosine ratio determined by tandem mass spectrometry to improve newborn screening for phenylketonuria of early discharge specimens collected in the first 24 hours
182 Citations1998Donald H. Chace, John Sherwin +3 more
MS/MS reduces the false-positive rate of fluorometric screening almost 100-fold because of the improved accuracy and precision of Phe measurement and simultaneous confirmation with the Phe/Tyr molar ratio.
Clinical ChemistryRapid diagnosis of homocystinuria and other hypermethioninemias from newborns' blood spots by tandem mass spectrometry
138 Citations1996Donald H. Chace, Steven L Hillman +4 more
It is predicted that the ratio of methionine to leucine plus isoleucine determined by tandem mass spectrometry will successfully detect hypermethioninemias with very low rates for false positives and false negatives.

Newborn urine screening based on chromatography has been discontinued in two of the three places in which it was introduced, Australia and Massachusetts, remaining only in Quebec.

It is concluded that neonatal screening programs have been highly successful but that there may be additional safeguards to be developed, tested, and implemented when practical.

Criteria for the diagnosis of MCAD deficiency using ESI-MS/MS must take account of age and carnitine depletion and if screening is undertaken at 7–10 days, the number of false positive and negative results should be negligible.

54 Citations1998Ruth Chadwick, Henk ten Have +5 more
Analysis and comparison of genetic screening programs shows that the extent of development of programs varies widely across Europe, and regional variations are due not only to genetic disease patterns but also reflect the novelty of genetic services.
American Journal of Public HealthParental rights, child welfare, and public health: the case of PKU screening.
46 Citations1982Ruth Faden, Neil A. Holtzman +1 more
The authors take the position that the primary function of a parental consent requirement is to protect children's welfare, and the principle of preventing harm overrides the parental right to refuse PKU screening.
PEDIATRICSEffect of Informed Parental Consent on Mothers' Knowledge of Newborn Screening
38 Citations1983Neil A. Holtzman, Ruth Faden +2 more
To determine whether knowledge was improved as a result of obtaining informed consent from parents for newborn screening of their infants for phenylketonuria, new mothers in seven Maryland hospitals were interviewed.
Archives of Disease in ChildhoodScreening in infancy.
34 Citations1995Diane M. Hall, J M Michel
The Wilson and Jungner criteria have stood the test of time but some minor changes are suggested and their relevance to paediatric practice is considered, with special reference to a proposed screening programme for extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) and other liver diseases of infancy.

29 Citations1999A. Green, R. J. Pollitt
A more workable approach could involve Bayesian synthesis, combining quantitative performance data from carefully designed prospective pilot studies of screening with existing experience of the natural history, diagnosis, and management of the individual disorders concerned.
Journal of Public HealthScreening and the new genetics; a public health perspective on the ethical debate
26 Citations1996David H. Stone, Sally Stewart
The authors argue that the benefits arising from the information generated in the course of genetic carrier screening cannot be presumed merely by asserting a "right to know' ethical imperative, and draw attention to the danger that a combination of technical capability, professional zeal and consumer demand will override currently accepted screening principles.
