to be more specific - i saspect you are referencing prenasal thickness in down's - tri 21 dx -

the articles from 8-11/2005 are from one author and i can't find follow up studies prekaryotype on follow up - the short pieces of the articles i found don't discuss full incorporation into a quat screen scenario per se - just comparing nb and nb abd prenasal measurements with a 70% pick up rate at a 5% error rate with a combined screen

nb screening is mentioned - varied results

last full review i saw on tri 21 screening - looking at multiple studies was from may 2007

hope this is useful to you

thanks

mdmd

in short - validation studies not done yet -

btw - fyi - maymon's study was on 21 down's infants and 500 controls

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.
