USPSTF 2008: universal screening for hearing loss in newborns

Technical summary

Pediatrics 2008, USPSTF recommendation statement (title: Universal screening for hearing loss in newborns: US Preventive Services Task Force recommendation statement). The statement was published in Pediatrics, whose publisher’s content is identity-only in this atlas, so its text is not read here and no recommendation is recorded. Status is inactive: the USPSTF page heading reads Inactive, and its notice says the Task Force decided not to review the evidence and update this topic and that the previous recommendation may contain outdated information. Inactive is not withdrawn (the issuer pulled it) or superseded. No recommendation decision is recorded, because the grade and wording of the 2008 statement appear only in the identity-only source. The issuer is the shared USPSTF record in core.
