What are the state-specific guidelines for newborn screening?
Newborn screening requirements also vary by state. These screenings are essential for the early detection of conditions such as congenital hypothyroidism, sickle cell disease, and metabolic disorders. While most states follow the guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there can be additional state-specific conditions that are screened. Parents should consult their healthcare provider or state health department for detailed information.
