screen (from those with history of in-utero exposure) were significant predictors for onset of NAS requiring pharmacological intervention at >96 HOL (OR 0.21; p value 0.011).

Those atrisk infants, born to mothers with a known history of exposure, who have a negative urine toxicology screen for both baby and mother, should be monitored beyond 5 days as they tend to have a later presentation.
