NBS Data Reports

In accordance with Indiana law, the GNBS program tracks and reports data collected while carrying out newborn screening in Indiana.

Screenings help find and identify individuals who do not have any symptoms but may be at risk of having a disease or condition. Diagnostic testing, also called confirmatory testing, is done after screening identifies an individual as possibly having a condition. Testing will confirm or rule out the diagnosis. In other words, screenings identify, and testing confirms.

Initial screens are the first newborn screening collected from a baby. Repeat screens are any additional newborn screenings that are performed on the baby after the initial screen. Screening totals show how many of each type of heel stick screen (initial or repeat) happened each year. Repeat screenings are usually performed if the initial screen is presumptive positive.

Presumptive positive (pre-positive) screens are any screen that resulted potentially positive for a condition. Pre-positive screens require additional testing through a diagnostic test to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. Sometimes the blood collected from the initial screen is not of good enough quality to be analyzed. If this happens, a repeat screen will need to be collected.

Confirmed positive screens include all presumptive positive screens that were confirmed to be positive for the condition through confirmatory testing.

The reports below display the total number of confirmed positive cases of conditions in a given year.

Please note that these totals only reflect the number of cases that were confirmed through confirmatory testing. This does not include presumptive positive cases that did not receive confirmatory testing or were ruled out.
