Filter by:The purpose of this study is to implement an electronic consent education process for the retention and research use of residual dried bloodspots at four hospitals in Michigan and assess the impact of the new education, both on patients and hospital staff. The research team will recruit women who have just given birth to answer surveys about the Michigan BioTrust consent process. Surveys will be collected from participants in the hospital and again four weeks later. The research team will collect survey data from patient participants at each hospital prior to hospital staff implementation of the new education process and again after staff implementation.
This is a validation study involving the Bilistick System 2.0 point-of-care bilirubin measuring device. The validation will be conducted by comparing bilirubin measurements utilizing the standard-of-care blood sample collected for both a diagnostic reference device and Bilistick System 2.0 point-of-care device. Whole blood samples collected from male or female newborns (<2-weeks of age) born at a Kettering Health Network facility to obtain a total of 80 valid comparison pairs between the reference device and the Bilistick System 2.0 point-of-care device with current laboratory standards.
The study will include all newborns in Normandie region for 3 years (about 105,000 births) for whom signed consent by one (or two) parents will be collected. Based on our previous pilot study (2011) assessing MCAD and PKU using tandem mass spectrometry-based method in Normandie region in which informed consents have been signed for all newborns (43,000) but we are expecting a great willingness to participate to this project. Thus, we are aiming to include 100,000 newborns, and the study will be continued until we reach at least this target. The primary objective is to evaluate the epidemiology of MPS1 and Pompe disease using dried blood samples in the first cohort of neonates tested in France (Normandie region).
