TL;DR: This study shows the short-comings of the G6PD FST in neonatal routine screening and highlights the importance of training and quality control and suggests quantitative point-of-care tests might show higher sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of G6 PD deficiency on umbilical cord blood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indirect neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in hospitalized neonates on the Thai-Myanmar border: A review of neonatal medical records from 2009 to 2014
