The fluorescent spot test and G6PD rapid test kit showed higher specificity and efficiency for G6PD deficiency.
While the SD Biosensor demonstrated superior sensitivity, it failed to detect G6PD activity in over 16% of cases due to high hemoglobin levels.
Rapid screening methods are essential for early detection of G6PD deficiency to prevent serious complications in newborns.
Larger studies are needed to validate these tests across different populations, ensuring broad applicability for G6PD deficiency screening.
