↵2-150 Rounded figures given.
↵2-151 Considering changing to 45 dBA and the use of an assistant.
↵2-152 Figures required some degree of estimation of such factors as non-attendance rates.
PS1—All centres aimed for universal postneonatal screening, centres A and F reported additional active screening of those considered at risk. Only dominant method is shown for test method.
PS5, PS6, PS7. The actual coverage in the seven centres where data were available, varied between 84 and 94% except for one centre which reported coverage of only 69%. A target figure for coverage was only reported by four centres, two giving 90% and two giving 95%.
