Red reflex test at the maternity hospital: results from a tertiary hospital and variables associated with inconclusive test results ☆☆: [[pt]]Teste do reflexo vermelho na maternidade: resultados de um hospital terciário e variáveis associadas a um Teste duvidoso.

CONCLUSIONS: The red reflex test was able to identify four severe alterations in 11,833 newborns (0.03%). In the 121 newborns in which the red reflex test was classified as inconclusive, there was a 20 h increase in the hospital length of stay, but a severe alteration was confirmed in only 3.3% of them. Differences in red reflex between white, mixed-race, and black patients should be considered. PMID: 31622568 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
