Use this term to record various maternal factors (also known as events), including treatments applied to the newborn's mother or conditions that affect the newborn's mother, that can affect the interpretation of NBS results. Select any answers that apply; you can select more than one answer. If you select "other," use the additional narrative LOINC code for "Other maternal factors that affect newborn screening interpretation" to give additional details. Thyroid treatments (PTU - propylthiouracil, methimazole (tapazole), and radioactive iodine (I-131)) can affect NBS results for T4 and TSH. Steroid treatment (prednisone, betamethasone, dexamethasone) can affect NBS results for 17-OHP. Fatty liver of pregnancy and HELLP syndrome can affect NBS results for acylcarnitines. TPN can affect NBS results for amino acids and fatty acids. PRBC (packed red blood cell) transfusion can affect NBS results for GALT and hemoglobin.
