Umbilical Cord Tissue and Meconium May Not Be Equivalent for Confirming in Utero Substance Exposure
J Pediatr.
2019 Feb.
Abstract
In a retrospective study of 501 neonates with potential in utero substance exposure, the drug detection performance of a commercially available umbilical cord tissue toxicology test was evaluated against a commercially available gold standard meconium toxicology test. Drugs detected in paired meconium and umbilical cord tissue samples were often discordant.
Keywords: drug screening; in utero drug exposure; meconium; toxicology; umbilical cord tissue.
