The Term Newborn
Prenatal genetic screening, including evaluation for inherited genetic disorders, aneuploidy risk assessment, and sonographic assessment, combined with a thorough newborn examination and standard newborn screening, including blood, hearing, and congenital heart disease screening, can reveal conditions requiring further evaluation after delivery. Abnormal prenatal or newborn screening results should prompt additional diagnostic testing guided by maternal fetal medicine, perinatal genetics, or pediatric specialists.
