Construction and application evaluation of the information network platform for neonatal disease screening in Hubei Province / 公共卫生与预防医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To use the neonatal disease screening information platform to evaluate the effectiveness of screening for neonatal diseases in Hubei Province. Methods A total of 74 214 live births in the area under the jurisdiction of the Hubei Newborn Disease Screening Center and the newborns screened in the manual registration of disease screening in 2018 were selected as the control group. In addition, A total of 55 952 cases of live births in the same jurisdiction area in 2019 and neonatal data recorded in the neonatal disease screening system were included in the experimental group. The comparisons of the neonatal phenylketonuria, primary screening rate of congenital hypothyroidism, rescreening diagnosis rate and follow-up treatment between the two groups were carried out. Results The overall screening rate, the primary screening rate and rescreening diagnosis rate of the congenital hypothyroidism in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P0.05). Conclusion The application of information network-based neonatal disease screening platform greatly improved work efficiency, reduced errors, enhanced screening rate and disease follow-up management capabilities, and thereby improved the management level of neonatal disease screening work.
