>Could you explain the basis for this please. Are you simply saying that The data comes out of Parkland, and has been presented at the SPO (?93 ?94...I could look up but it will be in the abstracts edition of the gray journal). I had hoped to be clearer - apologies for failure to do so: the risk of a 32 year old with twins is roughly equivalent to that of a 35 year old with a singleton fetus. Thus, if your age threshold for offering genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis is 35 years at term for singletons, you should use age 32 years if your patient has twins (I know of no concensus data for triplets and beyond). We concur with the other respondents regarding the use of targeted ultrasound imaging, for all of the reasons cited. Allan

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.
