Abstract
Background: Time frame for follow-up an infant with positive newborn screening (NBS) for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is generally short. Since July 2006, CAH has been added into Taiwan NBS. Six centers located at different parts of Taiwan are responsible for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment. There have been 1,800,940 newborns screened, with 116 confirmed to have CAH. The coordinators at the confirmatory center are the first person who phone and discuss positive screening results to the parents. In Chinese tradition, infants are kept at home during the first month of life; thus, parents are reluctant to bring their child out for follow-up as instructed.
