Can fetal ultrasound lead to better handling of chromosomal anomalies?
Ultrasonographic measurements of fetal nuchal translucency can lead to better management of chromosomal anomalies, according to a study published March 26 in JAMA Network Open.
Researchers led by doctoral candidate Kara Bellai-Dussault from the University of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada, found that pregnancies with nuchal translucency measurements greater than 2 mm are at increased risk of chromosomal anomalies. They highlighted that this means the widely used threshold of 3.5 mm may need to be reexamined.
“The findings were consistent through several sensitivity analyses,” Bellai-Dussault and colleagues wrote.

(
AJOG
