BACKGROUND. Inborn errors of metabolism are a significant cause morbidity and death among children. Inconsistencies in how individual states arrive at screening strategies, however, lead to marked variations testing between states. OBJECTIVE. To determine the cost-effectiveness each component test multitest newborn program, including for phenylketonuria, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, hypothyroidism, biotinidase deficiency, maple syrup urine disease, galactosemia, homocystinuria,...
