Yes, several strategies can be employed to reduce the incidence of false positives:
- Improved Testing Protocols: Enhancing the accuracy and reliability of screening tests through better technology and refined methodologies. - Second-tier Testing: Implementing confirmatory tests that are more specific to differentiate between true positives and false positives. - Timing of Sample Collection: Collecting samples at the optimal time, such as after the first 24 hours of life, can reduce the likelihood of transient conditions affecting the results.
