during
the
first

diagnosed
cases
,
treatment
of
affected
,
non-screened
individuals
,
quality
of
life
,
and
incremental
cost-effectiveness
ratios
were
measured
in
two
study
groups
.
Performing
the
screening
programs
for
phenylketonuria
,
congenital
hypothyroidism
,
galactosemia
,
and
favism
resulted
in
respectively
$
3386
,
$
13078
,
$
19641
,
and
