She is active and has a lusty cry. What is her Apgar score?Table 1-1.

Physical exam reveals a baby with eczema and a musty odor.Which screening test would most likely be abnormal?As per the American College of Medical Genetics, every newborn is screened for a corepanel of 29 disorders, with an additional 25 recommended (Expanded Newborn ScreeningProgram; varies per state).•All states now use tandem mass spectrometry; typically done after 24–48 hrs offeedings prior to baby leaving the birth hospital•With early discharge, may be performed at first postnatal visit (3–5 days) forimproved accuracy•In addition to a heel stick blood sample, current program also includes a hearingtest and pulse oximetry for critical congenital heart disease.Examples of the more common disorders in the expanded program include:•Phenylketonuria, tyrosinemia type I, 21-hydroxylase deficiency, classicgalactosemia•HbS/β-thal, Hb SS, HbS/HbC•Congenital hypothyroidism•Cystic fibrosisTable 1-4.

Chapter 1lThe Newborn5Hearing LossPediatric hearing loss is more prevalent than diabetes mellitus and all childhood cancers. Auniversal newborn hearing screening is recommended prior to newborn discharge, with thegoal of evaluating all hearing loss by age 3 months. Usually the otoacoustic emissions test (OAE)is used, where a small earphone/microphone is placed in the ear and sounds are played.•If hearing is normal, an echo is reflected back into the ear canal and is measuredby the microphone.•If hearing is not normal (patient does not pass), newborns are given the audi-tory brainstem response test (ABR) (most accurate hearing measure through age6 months). Sounds are presented through a small earphone, measured with headelectrodes, and analyzed by a computer.•Normal OAE: intact hearing through the cochlea•Normal ABR: also establishes the integrity of the auditory nerveAs for the causes of hearing loss, up to 60% prelingual isgenetic(>60 gene loci, >500 syndromeswith hearing loss); 70-80% is autosomal recessive, with 50% having a defect in connexin 26(a gap junction protein). Examples include Waardenburg syndrome (most common autosomaldominant condition with hearing loss), neurofibromatosis-2 (AD),Alport syndrome(AR).Up to 25% are nongenetic and up to 25% are idiopathic. Examples includeCMV(most com-mon congenital cause; then other congenital infections); otitis media with effusion (OME)(most common childhood cause); bacterial meningitis, especiallypneumococcus(occursearly and in >30%); trauma, especially to temporal bone; medication (aminoglycosides, loopdiuretics, cisplatin); acoustic (loud music, especially with earbuds/phones; audiograms showhigh-frequency loss at 4,000 Hz).FETAL GROWTH AND MATURITYTable 1-5.
