Patient's question:
The baby was just born a few days ago, and we had a newborn screening done. The hospital just sent us a text message saying that we can check the results by following the provided website link. I was wondering how to check the newborn screening results for the baby?Doctor's answer:
Infant screening is usually performed three days after birth using umbilical cord blood or heel blood paper. Infant screening refers to the use of rapid and sensitive laboratory methods to screen for genetic and metabolic diseases, congenital endocrine abnormalities, and some severe genetic diseases in infants. When the baby is born, the screening center's phone number is given to each parent. If the results are not received, parents can consult the screening center and inquire about the results based on the mother's name, birth hospital, and birth date.
