Summary
This study tested whether routinely checking oxygen levels in healthy newborns (pulse oximetry) can help find hidden critical heart defects early. Over 44,000 babies took part. The goal was to see if this screening reduces serious complications and deaths, and if it is worth the cost for the French healthcare system.
