The Need for Quality Improvement in Sweat Testing Infants Following Newborn Screening for Cystic Fibrosis

The proportion of insufficient sweat tests after positive newborn screening for CF was determined. Infants ≤ 3 months old had a mean (± sd) rate of 7.2% (± 7.6) ( range 0–40%). Collection methods did not impact the rates. The high and variable rates indicate a need for quality improvement.
