Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to describe the impact of rapid and ultra-rapid whole genome sequencing (rWGS/urWGS) on the care of neonatal intensive care (NICU) patients who require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Study design: This is a retrospective cohort study at a single-center NICU in a tertiary children's hospital. The study population includes NICU patients treated with ECMO from May 2017 to September 2023. Patients were evaluated for whether whole genome was completed, speed of testing (rapid vs. ultra-rapid), diagnostic rate, and clinical utility.
Result: Twenty-six (72%) patients had rWGS/urWGS. A diagnosis associated with the patient's phenotype was made in 12 patients (46%). A change in clinical management was made due to rWGS/urWGS in 10 patients (38%) including avoidance of imaging studies, decisions regarding goals of care, and screening studies.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates a high diagnostic rate and clinical utility of rWGS/urWGS for NICU patients requiring ECMO.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development.
The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
