Texas Pulse Oximetry Project: A Multicenter Educational and Quality Improvement Project for Implementation of Critical Congenital Heart Disease Screening Using Pulse Oximetry

Abstract: Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) is a leading cause of death in infants. Newborn screening (NBS) by pulse oximetry allows early identification of CCHD in asymptomatic newborns. To improve readiness of hospital neonatal birthing facilities for mandatory screening in Texas, an educational and quality improvement (QI) project was piloted to identify an implementation strategy for CCHD NBS in a range of birthing hospitals. Thirteen Texas hospitals implemented standardized CCHD screening by pulse oximetry. … Show more

“…There was a plurality in terms of study countries, demonstrating the divergences in the protocols followed, with the United States (21,23,25,28,32,35,47) and United Kingdom (30,(40)(41)(42)(43) being the countries with the most publications. As for the sample, it varied in the size of the studies.…”

“…Subsequently, subgroup analyses were carried out for sensitivity and specificity, according to the time of birth and the first POT measurement between 24 and 48 hours (Figures S1 and S2). In this meta-analysis, 20 studies were included (21)(22)(23)(24)27,28,(31)(32)(33)(35)(36)(37)(38)(40)(41)(42)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48) with a sample of 203,992 participants. An increase in sensitivity to 67% (95% CI: 62% to 72%) and specificity to 97% (95% CI: 97% to 97) was demonstrated.…”

“…ultrasound) and neonatal (e.g. pulse oximetry) CHD screenings tests focus on critical CHD [ 24 – 26 ]. Moreover, the prevalence of CHD was higher in less developed areas, indicating a higher misdiagnosis rate, which may be attributed to the lack of skilled personnel and advanced facilities for diagnosis and treatment [ 27 – 28 ],as well as parents’ willingness to undergo early CHD screening.Considerable evidence indicates that in the majority of developing countries, achieving the goal of early diagnosis and treatment remains a challenge, which significantly hampers overall population development [ 28 – 30 ].…”
