Abstract
We compared the effectiveness in identifying infants with positive results on urine screening for drugs of abuse of a universal screening program and a targeted screening program on the basis of clinical suspicion. A carefully run targeted screening program identified 24.3% of the admissions for toxicology testing and would have found all but two of the infants with positive results.
