Mr Knapp and Drs Decker and Lantos wrote, reviewed, and revised the manuscript and approved the final manuscript as submitted.This trial has been registered at www. clinicaltrials. gov (identifier NCT02422511). NIHUsing focus group methodology, we studied the attitudes of neonatologists regarding diagnostic rapid genome sequencing for newborns who were critically ill in a NICU. One focus group took place within the first year after whole-genome sequencing testing became available, and another focus group took place 3 years later. Focus groups were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed by using standard techniques of grounded theory. Different analysts coded them for themes. The analysts then discussed differences and agreed on major themes. Twelve doctors participated in the first focus group, and 9 doctors participated in the second; 62% were attending physicians, and the rest were fellows. There were 14 women and 7 men. We did not collect any other demographic information on participants. Surprisingly, we found few differences between the earlier focus group and the later one. Comments were categorized as falling into 4 domains: (1) uncertainty about the interpretation of results, (2) issues about parental consent and limits on their right to know genomic information, (3) different opinions about whether and how genomic results could be clinically useful, and (4) potential harms of genomic testing. abstract by guest on July 10, 2020 www.aappublications.org/news Downloaded from POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST: The authors have indicated they have no potential conflicts of interest to disclose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
