Background: Main concerns of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Newborn Screening (CAH-NBS) are the high false-positive results (FPR) rate, low positive predictive value (PPV) and heterogeneity of confirmatory tests. Considering the CAH-NBS implementation in our country, our.Objectives: Objectives are to optimize the Neonatal 17OH-Progesterone (N17OHP) cutoffs and to evaluate the best serum confirmatory test.Methods: 473 983 newborns w...

The high rate of false-positive (FP) results in congenital adrenal hyperplasia newborn screening (CAH-NBS) worldwide challenges NBS-programs and reinforces the need of high specificity subsequent tests. Few studies assessed the efficacy of different serum steroids by the available methodologies. Serum 21-deoxycortisol-21DF demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy in CAH children/adults but was not evaluated in the NBS context. Objective: to evaluate the efficacy of confirmatory...
