This video covers important information that pediatricians need to know when reviewing cystic fibrosis newborn screening results, and the best way to share the results with parents.
Newborn screenings for CF have only been done in the last 10 years and the results can be confusing because most states screen for only 40 or 50 of the most cystic fibrosis mutations.
Leila, a young girl with cystic fibrosis, and Nemours nurse practitioner, Kathryn KinyonMunch explain how the screenings are done and how to interpret and share the results with parents.
