چکیده
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A targeted routine antenatal anti-D prophylaxis programme was implemented in Denmark where anti-D immunoglobulin is given based on the result from noninvasive antenatal screening for fetal RHD. Our objective was to evaluate compliance with this new programme right after its initiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined the treatment outcome of 239 D-negative pregnant women who gave birth at our hospital between June and September 2010. RESULTS The majority of these women (90%) underwent antenatal RHD screening, 86% of the women who were recommended antenatal prophylaxis received anti-D, and 99% of the women who delivered RhD-positive infants received postnatal anti-D. CONCLUSION These compliance results are acceptable as they were obtained only a few months after the initiation of the new prophylaxis regime. However, suggestions to further improve compliance are presented.
