One of my pt had first trimester screening test for Down at 8 wks. According to the result only PAPP and free B-hCG without NT were included in this test. Has anybody heard about first trimester screening test for Down syndrome that includes measurement PAPP and free-B-hCG without NT and that it can be done startng from 8 wks? Is this test available? Thanks in advance.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
