11 NBS Brazil (began in1976) Difficulties: - heterogeneity of screened pathologies - absence of standardised routines - low population coverage - lack of economic resources and public health funding - other health problems considered priorities over NBS - lack of integration NBS health care system (70-80% dependent of public health system) - economic restritions for expansion of panel - lack of education about NBS
12 NBS BRAZIL In Public Heatlh System (Health Ministry): No registry about diseases panel No registry about nº of patients No registry about treatment / follow-up Only one registry: nº of tests payed!
13 NBS - Brazil Jan / 2001 NORTH 47 % NORTHEAST 24% CENTRAL WEST 27% SOUTHEAST 82% SOUTH 70%
14 NBS BRAZIL June 2001 Creation of National Newborn Screening Program (NNSP) Health Ministry Decree Federal resources allocation for new actions - neonatal screening - diagnostic confirmation - treatment and follow-up
15 NNSP Objectives - Achieve 100% coverage of live births - Define and broaden the screened disorders spectrum - Implement and standardise the child care - Increase the resources allocation - Partnership: federal/state/regional - Ordering and guiding the health actions: Newborn Screening Reference Services (NSRS)
16 Newborn Screening Reference Services (NSRS)
17 Newborn Screening Reference Services (NSRS) Multidisciplinary Approach Minimum NSRS team: endocrinologist pediatrician nutricionist psychologist social worker
18 National Newborn Screening Program (NNSP) Current test panel includes screening for PKU, congenital hypothyroidism, hemoglobinopathies and cystic fibrosis. NNSP recommended step-wise expansion: - Phase 1 : PKU + CH - Phase 2 : PKU + CH + HB - Phase 3 : PKU + CH + HB + CF
19 NNSP
20 NNSP Results (1) Establishment of NSRS in 27 states (100 %) New 34 accredited NSRS working in the NNSP Quantitative increase of national coverage Greater procedure uniformity among the states Children detected in NNSP now have guaranteed assistance, follow-up and medications needed for the treatment.
21 NNSP Coverage Results (2) Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, August 2007, Volume 30, Number 4, p ISSN: (Print) (Online)

24 NNSP 7 years enabled us to: Perform epidemiologic study of the selected diseases Educate health workers and students (multidisciplinary team) for research, detection, prevention and treatment in this area Give support treatment to the detected patients and genetic counselling to their families Evaluate the need of neonatal screening for other diseases
25 NBS Brazil - Conclusions Despite great disparity, last seven years: implementation of public health program increase in coverage expansion of NBS panel increase in governmental involvement integration: NBS teams scientific societies external quality assurance (CDC)
26 NBS Brazil - Future coverage of 100% newborn expansion of NBS panel phases evolution increase in NNSP quality - pre-analytical aspects - post-analytical management Tandem Mass Spectrometry
