First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in Italy. Researchers reviewed medical records of 29 infants diagnosed with classic CAH between 2006 and 2019 to see how accurate the screening was. The goal was to measure the screening's sensitivity and positive predictive value, and to describe the babies' health at diagnosis.
