Article Synopsis
- Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a condition affecting newborns who experience drug withdrawal symptoms after being exposed to drugs in the womb, with this study focusing on its incidence in Puerto Rico.
- From 2018 to 2020, a review of medical records revealed 12 cases of NAS, equating to an incidence of 2 cases per 1000 admitted newborns, with most having polydrug exposure.
- The study found variations in the timing of NAS symptom onset and treatment dosing practices, highlighting the need for more comprehensive research to improve NAS treatment protocols in Puerto Rico.
