Methods: Pregnant women (n=63) referring to the Başkent University Konya Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic between January and March 2014 for first trimester screening were included in the study.

متن کاملProspective first-trimester screening for trisomy 21 in 30,564 pregnancies.
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of a 1-stop clinic for first-trimester assessment of risk (OSCAR) for trisomy 21 by a combination of maternal age, fetal nuchal translucency (NT) thickness, and maternal serum-free ss- human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A). STUDY DESIGN OSCAR was carried out in 30,564 pregnancies a...
متن کاملStandardisation of crown-rump length measurement.
Correct estimation of gestational age is essential for any study of ultrasound biometry and for everyday clinical practice. However, inconsistency in pregnancy dating may occur through differences in measurement methods or errors during measurement. In the INTERGROWTH-21(st) Project, pregnancies are dated by the last menstrual period, provided that it is certain and associated with a regular me...
متن کاملFirst-trimester screening for trisomy 21 using alpha-fetoprotein.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential value of adding maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) to free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) and PAPP-A and fetal nuchal translucency (NT) thickness in first-trimester screening for trisomy 21. METHODS In this case control study, serum AFP was measured in 100 trisomy 21 and 1,500 euploid pregnancies in which screening for trisomy 21 had been per...
متن کاملCrown-Rump Length Measured in the Early First Trimester as a Predictor of Low Birth Weight
The aim of this study is to assess the association between crown-rump length (CRL) measured before the 10th gestational week and birth weight. Results from 316 transvaginal ultrasonography scans at the 46th, 53rd, 60th, 67th, and 74th days of pregnancy were compared in low birth weight (LBW) versus normal birth weight groups. A positive correlation between CRL and birth weight was observed when...
