Adjusted classification for ultrasound scoring index for antenatal detection of fetal trisomy

Ultrasound (USG) is a useful investigation in obstetrics. Its mean indications include screening for fetal anomaly, especially for Down's syndrome and other genetic trisomy. Here, the author tries to access the compatibility between classical USG scoring index and the new likelihood ratio-based...

Sumario:Ultrasound (USG) is a useful investigation in obstetrics. Its mean indications include screening for fetal anomaly, especially for Down's syndrome and other genetic trisomy. Here, the author tries to access the compatibility between classical USG scoring index and the new likelihood ratio-based system. New recommendation on severity of studied markers is given.
