Abstract: |
Inherited
metabolic diseases are rare but may cause severe damages if not cared for in
time. A neonatal screening program, including a first quick test to all
newborns and a second accurate test for patients with positive results, is
being planned in Veneto region, northeast Italy. A simulation model
describing all operations has been built and implemented with the scope of
giving suitable dimension to operating centres, in
order to care for all revealed pathology within the maximum time before they
may become dangerous for the involved patients. The model is pretty general
and its application may be extended to changed situation of the same region
or to other regions. |
