Adv Pediatr. 2012;59(1):269-81. doi: 10.1016/j.yapd.2012.04.009. Epub 2012 Jun 12.

Abstract

Systematic literature review and meta-analysis guided by expert opinion has refined current approaches to the treatment of CAH. The advent of widespread newborn screening has improved outcomes, with lower morbidities and mortality. Future advances may be recognized in the form of more efficient diagnostic tools, physiologic drug delivery, improved surgical methods, and assisted reproductive technologies.
