Quiz: Critical congenital heart disease screening data collection, implementation

In December 2024, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) introduced updates to the critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) screening algorithm to enhance efficiency and accuracy in newborn screenings. These changes include a simplified process that reduces the number of retests and refines the criteria for passing oxygen saturation levels. The goal of these refinements is to decrease misinterpretation, improve sensitivity, and ensure more consistent implementation of CCHD screening across hospitals nationwide.

In this quiz, we test your knowledge of the key changes in the screening algorithm.

Take the quiz below to test your comprehension of the updated screening process and its implications for clinical practice.
