Early Detection of Structural Anomalies in a Primary Care Setting in the Netherlands

Conclusion: In a primary care setting, global fetal anatomical assessment at first-trimester scan without following a standardized protocol detects about 30% of all structural anomalies and most of the severe anomalies, with an extremely low false-positive rate. We hypothesize that additional training and use of a systematic protocol would improve early detection of structural anomalies.Fetal Diagn Ther
