Trisomy 21 screening with αlpha software and the Fetal Medicine Foundation algorithm
CONCLUSION: Screening with FMF software has a similar screen positive rate and better detection rate than screening with αlpha software. The low prenatal detection rate of trisomy 21 is mainly due to a low prevalence of screening. More research is needed in the SA setting to explore why screening and confirmatory testing after high-risk results are not performed in many pregnancies.PMID:38525638 | DOI:10.7196/SAMJ.2023.v113i11.885
