Introduction
In the early 1950's Virginia Apgar published the research article that was the basis of a simple diagnostic test, the 10-point Apgar score, for neonatal well-being at birth that continues to be used today.
There are a number of different neonatal screening (newborn screening) programs in different countries testing for various "common" abnormalities and infections. In addition to the Gutherie test there are also physical tests for hip displasia and a growing number of countries testing of newborn hearing.
- APGAR test
- Gutherie test
- Hearing test
- Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)
- Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)
- can screen for PKU and many other diseases simultaneously (up to 21 metabolic diseases).[1]
