It's useful because it's an RCT of a screening test - you don't see amny of those ! However like all studies one cannot blindly extrapolate to one's own practice and population. This is a group prviously defined as high risk. I'd liek to see more about how they defined high risk. Equally I'd like to see results of a similar RCT in a lower risk population. -- Malcolm Griffiths MD,MRCOG,MFFP,Cert.Mgmnt Obstetrician & Gynaecologist Luton & Dunstable Hosp.,UK.

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.
