Newborn screening includes testing for many metabolic diseases. False-positive results are higher among neonatal intensive care unit infants, resulting in increased confirmatory testing and family stress. Amino acid administration as a component of total parenteral nutrition is commonly used in the neonatal intensive care unit and suggested as a factor increasing false-positive results. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a new sample collection protocol on false-positive results.
