Comparison of diagnostic data after introduction of cystic fibrosis screening in newborns in Germany

DISCUSSION: The DGNS and the DMR, each with different strengths in the documentation of screening (DGNS) and diagnostic data (DMR), provide important clues for the number of newly diagnosed cystic fibrosis patients after the introduction of NGS. Legal requirements for tracking those screened, recording all children with CF, and exchanging data between the DGNS and DMR could improve evaluation in the future.PMID:37831094 | DOI:10.1007/s00103-023-03778-1
