A few snippits from last RNS... top drawer product.
A total of 751 neonates were recruited to the PALOH study throughout 2020. Three babies with the m.1555A>G variant were identified, all of whom avoided aminoglycoside antibiotics and therefore avoided profound hearing loss. The assay had a real-world analytical sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 99.2% and an accuracy of 99.2%. The mean time to antibiotics was equivalent to previous practice, indicating that the test can be introduced into routine practice.
