:- This report is generated using test result from FMF Accredited reagents .
:- Statistical evaluation has been done using SSDW version 6.0
:- Screening tests are based on statistical analysis of patient demographic and biochemical data. They simply indicate a high
or low risk category. Confirmation of screen positives is recommended by Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS).
:- The interpretive unit is MoM (Multiples of Median) which takes into account variables such as gestational age
(ultrasound),materal weight, race,insulin dependent Diabetes, multiple gestation, IVF (Date of Birth of Donor, if applicable),
smoking & previous history of Down syndrome.
Accurate availability of this data for Risk Calculation is critical.
:- Ideally all pregnant women should be screened for Prenatal disorders irrespective of maternal age. The test is valid
between 8-13.6 weeks of gestation, but ideal sampling time is between 10-13 weeks gestation.
Comments
First trimester screening for Prenatal disorders (Trisomy 21, 18 & 13) is essential to identify those women at sufficient risk for a congenital
anomaly in the fetus to warrant further evaluation and followup. For open neural tube defects, second trimester screening before 20 weeks is
recommended. These are screening procedures which cannot discriminate all affected pregnancies from all unaffected pregnancies. Screening
cutoffs are established by using MoM values that maximize the detection rate and minimize false positives.
NOTE :- Facility for further follow-up of screen positive patients with & without invasive
technique and of genetic counselling also available.
Note:- These tests have been conducted by City X Ray & Scan Clinic Pvt. Ltd. (NABL Accredited Lab).
