Nuchal TranslucencyFrom: Pedroli Gianluca, MD (gluca.pedroli@tiscalinet.it)Fri Aug 17 04:17:54 2001
Hi, I'm an italian obst/gyn and I would like to show you a burocratic problem: here in Italy a NT > 3mm isn't a enough condition to take an amniocentesis by the national health system if the patient is less than 35 year old. Now my question is: why make loads of efforts to guarantee a good quality standard level in ultrasounds when a NT > 3mm isn't enough to take a free amniocentesis ? Of course I can use a tri-test to improve the results of the risk factors for trisomy or spine duct defects, but why the NT is still "considered" not enough in women less than 35 years old ? I believe this a not good service for the patient. Gianluca Pedroli, MD

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.
