Managing the Uncertainty of “Precision” While Navigating Goals of Care
Each year, many neonates are born with genetic diagnoses that carry a range of prognoses. As the types and availability of genetic testing have expanded, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) have served as "launching points" for their clinical application. Broad genetic testing has both improved diagnostic precision and expanded uncertainty. Genetic information may be explicitly uncertain, as in the case of a variant of unknown significance (VUS…
Legal Discrepancies and Expectations of Women
Over the past several decades in which access to abortion has become increasingly restricted, parents' autonomy in medical decision‐making in the realms of fetal care and neonatal intensive care has expanded. Today, parents can decide against invasive medical interventions at gestational ages where abortions are forbidden, even in cases where neonates are expected to be seriously ill. Although a declared state interest in protecting the lives of …
Managing Prognosis in Precision Medicine
Research on how physicians predict and communicate prognosis focuses primarily on end-of-life care. Unsurprisingly, as genomic technology gains traction as a prognostic tool, the focus has also been on terminality, with research focused on how genetic results may be used to terminate pregnancies or redirect care towards palliation for neonates. However, genomic results also have powerful impacts on how patients who live prepare for their futures.…
Finding Light in the Uncertain
Being pregnant neonatologists creates a paradox: We have dedicated our lives to providing care that we hope our own babies will never need. As 2 neonatology fellows experiencing pregnancy together, we contemplate stories from our daily lives that reveal the breadth of pain and heartbreak that can haunt infancy. Faced with others’ suffering, we instinctively list reasons why we will not face the same plight: First, most babies are born healthy; se…
