Uniform tests for all newborns urged nationwide
The American Academy of Pediatrics calls for federal standards to require uniform newborn screening across all states. The proposal, in Pediatrics, cites inconsistencies like Maine testing for MCAD but New Hampshire not, and Colorado testing for sickle cell while Utah does not. It notes eight core diseases urged by March of Dimes and stresses economics and demographics influence current gaps. The case of Bryce Burke highlights potential outcomes of nonuniform screening and the low cost of expanded testing with tandem mass spectrometry.
