Abstract

Background: The main justification of this study was to describe our experience in neonatal screening and to define the prevalence of the diseases included in the neonatal screening program in Andalusia, among which are congenital hypothyroidism, expanded screening (aminoacidopathies, mitochondrial beta-oxidation defects and organic acidurias), cystic fibrosis, and screening for sickle cell anemia.
Methods: The study was carried out in the Metabolopathies Unit of the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville with samples of newborns from Western Andalusia (Cádiz, Córdoba, Huelva and Seville) and autonomous city of Ceuta. A total of 435,141 newborns were studied (from the period from April 1st 2009 to December 31st 2019) to rule out congenital hypothyroidism and expanded screening; 378,306 for cystic fibrosis from May 1st 2011 to the same date described above. Finally, sickle cell anemia screening was included, which comprised a total of 55,576 newborns from November 26th, 2018 to the same period as the previous ones. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS software (version 22, SPSS INC., USA).
Results: The study revealed a prevalence of 1:1565 newborns for congenital hypothyroidism, 1:1532 newborns for extended screening, 1:6.878 newborns for cystic fibrosis, and a 1:11.115 newborns for sickle cell disease.
Conclusions: The neonatal screening program allows a large number of newborns to benefit from the early detection of certain serious congenital diseases. This aim improves the morbidity and mortality of those who suffer from them.
