Patient's question:
Experience Exchange on Newborn Disease Screening. My baby has undergone newborn disease screening. However, the gender on the result slip was mistakenly changed from female to male by the hospital. Does this affect the test results?Doctor's answer:
Newborn disease screening refers to advanced laboratory testing for every newborn baby. It detects serious congenital metabolic diseases, enabling early diagnosis and treatment. This helps prevent intellectual and physical developmental disabilities in infants, and even death due to damage to the brain, liver, kidneys, or other organs. Based on your situation, a simple gender error will not affect the test results. However, you need to check whether the test results are also incorrect.
