Proportion of babies eligible for the newborn physical examination who are tested for all 4 components (3 components in female infants) of the newborn examination within 72 hours of birth (12088) Metric type
- Help text
- The proportion of babies eligible for the newborn physical examination who are tested for all 4 components (3 components in female infants) of the newborn examination within 72 hours of birth.
Tested babies (numerator) is the total number of eligible babies for whom a decision about referral (including a decision that no referral is necessary as a result of the newborn physical examination) for each of the 4 conditions screened was made within an effective timeframe.
Eligible babies (denominator) is the total number of babies born within the maternity service in the reporting period:, including babies less than or equal to 72 hours of age who transfer into the care of the maternity service without a screening result, excluding those babies who die within 72 hours of birth. Screening may be delayed where a clinical decision is made to delay the examination as the baby is too premature or too unwell to have the examination at this time. Screening should be completed as and when the baby's condition allows. These babies should be accounted for and the reason explained in the commentary as mitigations against performance thresholds. This KPI measures coverage of babies up to 72 hours of age and therefore does not capture all babies born in England having a NIPE examination.
England figures have been aggregated from local authority data and exclude women resident in Wales or of unknown local authority.
