Headline: |
Study findings suggest that the current programme to detect congenital heart defects through newborn screening performs poorly and lacks monitoring of quality assurance, performance management and longer term outcomes. Pulse oximetry is a promising alternative newborn screening strategy and requires further evaluation. |
