Foetal sex determination at the second trimester anomaly scan in Denmark.

CONCLUSIONS: Foetal sex determination by ultrasound is common practice in Denmark. No guideline existed and incorrect sex was determined in 8/1,000 foetuses, most often females. Foetal sex determination should be standardised extensively to avoid false diagnoses. FUNDING: none. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was approved by the Danish Data Protection Agency (record number: 2012-41-0050). PMID: 31791477 [PubMed - in process]
