BACKGROUND: Accurate confirmation of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is required
as a diagnostic criterion for the majority of children adversely affected by PAE
who do not manifest the physical features associated with fetal alcohol syndrome.
A number of ethanol biomarkers have been used to assess PAE, often with
suboptimal results. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and
cost of PAE screening in newborns by measuring phosphatidylethanol (PEth) in
dried blood spot (DBS) cards. METHODS: The feasibility of collecting an
additional DBS card during routine newborn screening and the background
prevalence of PAE were evaluated in a de-identified sample of newborn children
delivered at the University of New Mexico Hospital. Electronic orders to collect
DBS cards from newborns who continue to bleed after the routine newborn screen,
glucose, or hematocrit testing were initiated for all infants delivered during a
4-week time frame. Specimens were sent to a contract laboratory for PEth analysis
by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A cost analysis was conducted
to compare the cost of PAE screening by PEth in DBS versus PEth in conventional
blood specimens and by meconium fatty acid ethyl esters. RESULTS: From 230
collected cards, 201 (87.4%) had at least 1 full blood spot (amount sufficient
for PEth analysis), and 6.5% had PEth >20 ng/ml indicative of potential PAE in
late pregnancy. PAE screening by PEth in DBS is logistically simpler and less
expensive compared with 2 other screening approaches. CONCLUSIONS: These results
indicate that screening for PAE in DBS cards is a feasible procedure and that a
majority of infants have enough blood after the routine heel prick to fill an
additional card. Moreover, screening by PEth analysis from DBS cards is
cost-efficient. The acceptability of such screening by parents and corresponding
ethical issues remain to be investigated.
