First-trimester screening for aneuploidy: research of standard of care?

Article Abstract:

Further research is needed before doctors begin testing pregnant women for Down's syndrome in their baby in the first trimester. Many doctors believe it is best to detect Down syndrome as early as possible, they must first identify the most accurate test.

Threatened abortion: a risk factor for poor pregnancy outcome, a population-based screening study

Article Abstract:

The risk of adverse outcome for pregnancies, with first-trimester threatened abortion, due to first-trimester vaginal bleeding, occurring in 16 to 25 percent of all pregnancies, is discussed. Various outcomes of the first-trimester bleeding during pregnancy include the pregnancy loss, preterm delivery, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), placental abruption, placenta previa, and cesarean delivery.

First-trimester maternal serum PAPP-A and free-beta subunit human chorionic gonadotropin concentrations and nuchal translucency are associated with obstetric complications: A population-base screening study (the FASTER trial)

Article Abstract:

A study was undertaken to determine whether maternal serum levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A, free-beta subunit human chorionic gonadotropin, or nuchal translucency size are associated with obstetric complications. Results show that low free-beta subunit human gonadotropin levels and large nuchal translucency could result in early fetal loss.
