Cystic Fibrosis Newborn Screening: A Systematic Review-Driven Consensus Guideline from the United States Cystic Fibrosis Foundation by Meghan E. McGarry, Karen S. Raraigh, Philip Farrell, Faith Shropshire, Karey Padding, Cambrey White, M. Christine Dorley, Steven Hicks, Clement L. Ren, Kathryn Tullis, Debra Freedenberg, Q. Eileen Wafford, Sarah E. Hempstead, Marissa A. Taylor, Albert Faro, Marci K. Sontag, Susanna A. McColley

“…Systematic reviews were used to develop seven recommendations for newborn screening program practices to improve timeliness, sensitivity, and equity in diagnosing infants with CF: (1) The CF Foundation recommends the use of a floating immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) cutoff over a fixed IRT cutoff; (2) The CF Foundation recommends using a very high IRT referral strategy in CF newborn screening programs whose variant panel does not include all CF-causing variants in CFTR2 or does not have a variant panel that achieves at least 95% sensitivity in all ancestral groups within the state; (3) The CF Foundation recommends that CF newborn screening algorithms should not limit <i>CFTR</i> variant detection to the F508del variant or variants included in the American College of Medical Genetics-23 panel; (4) The CF Foundation recommends that CF newborn screening programs screen for all CF-causing <i>CFTR</i> variants in CFTR2; (5) The CF Foundation recommends conducting <i>CFTR</i> variant screening twice weekly or more frequently as resources allow; (6) The CF Foundation recommends the inclusion of a <i>CFTR</i> sequencing tier following IRT and <i>CFTR</i> variant panel testing to improve the specificity and positive predictive value of CF newborn screening; (7) The CF Foundation recommends that both the primary care provider and the CF specialist be notified of abnormal newborn screening results. …”

Algorithmic indexing in MEDLINE frequently overlooks important concepts and may compromise literature search results by Alexandre Amar-Zifkin, Taline Ekmekjian, Virginie Paquet, Tara Landry

“…Three main issues with algorithmically-indexed records were identified: 1) inappropriate MeSH assigned due to acronyms, evocative language, exclusions of populations, or related records; 2) concepts represented by more general MeSH while a more precise MeSH is available; and 3) a significant concept not represented in the indexing at all. …”
