Article Synopsis
  • - The study aims to create new pulse oximetry screening (POS) algorithms for critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) suitable for high-altitude conditions, where existing algorithms are ineffective.
  • - Conducted in Peru, the research involved 502 healthy newborns and 15 with CCHD, incorporating oximetry tests and follow-ups to assess the effectiveness of the algorithms.
  • - Two new algorithms were developed, showing one with high sensitivity (92%) but lower specificity (73%), while the other maintained a balance with lower sensitivity (80%) and higher specificity (88%), although both faced challenges with false positives.
