There was a technical bulletin released last month. The recommendation is at first visit, 20 weeks and then q 4 weeks (provided all are negative). I am aware of no studies that support this increase in frequency.

You are referring to Educational Bulletin # 227. It is referring to the management of the isoimmunized patient who has had no previously affected pregnancy not to all patients. Also the statement within the parentheses above was added by you not in the bulletin. None of the patients to whom this statement applies will have negative titers.

One must read all the details in the "Educational" Bulletins.

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.
