Outcomes of Universal Newborn G6PD Deficiency Screening in a Large Urban Cohort
G6PD-deficient newborns are more likely to require phototherapy than G6PD-sufficient infants. Exchange transfusion and bilirubin-induced neurotoxicity are rare, likely due to protocolized bilirubin management. Our findings suggest that infants will be missed by risk factor-based screening such as that recommended by New York State.
