<< The two perinatology groups in my area are now promoting the first trimester use of nuchal translucency at sonogram with bloodwork (HCG-PAPP, I think) as a test to offer. I've not seen much about it, and one promotion makes it sound like it is the standard of care, which it isn't.

Any thoughts/comments?

The NIH "FASTER" trial, now begining, should determine whether this mode of screening will be standard of care. Expect results in 2-3 years. Allan Bombard, MD Oakland, CA

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.
