Clinical implementation of first trimester combined test for aneuploidies in patients aged 35 years or older
… still a large contributor to invasive testing (amniocentesis and villocentesis). However, there are many reasons to abandon screening on the basis of AMA, given its low detection rate (DR), the risk of fetal loss (0,5-1%) and high costs for the national health systems (NHS). The aim of our study …
