Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Women's choices of prenatal screening and diagnostic pathways have increased in complexity since the introduction of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening and chromosomal microarrays. We performed individual record-linkage of women undergoing screening with cfDNA, combined first trimester screening (CFTS), second trimester serum screening (STSS), and/or prenatal and postnatal cytogenetic testing to (i) obtain population-based estimates on women's utilization of screening and diagnosis, (ii) analyse the performance of different screening strategies, and (iii) report the residual risks of any major chromosome abnormality following a low risk aneuploidy screen. METHODS: Retrospective stud..
