Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare complications of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) access in children with severe neurological impairment (SNI) between lower and upper limb cannulation.
- - Researchers reviewed data from 110 children and found that lower limb PIVC procedures had significantly higher complication rates (75%) compared to upper limb procedures (42%).
- - The findings suggest that for children with SNI, cannulation in the upper limbs is a safer option to reduce the risks of serious complications.
Background: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine recently recommended offering genetic counseling and diagnostic testing for enlarged nuchal translucency at ≥3.0 mm, regardless of previous negative screening with noninvasive prenatal testing.
Objective: This study aimed to perform a population-based, individual record linkage study to determine the optimal definition of an enlarged nuchal translucency for the detection of atypical chromosome abnormalities.
Study Question: What is the frequency of major chromosome abnormalities in a population-based diagnostic data set of genomic tests performed on miscarriage, fetal and infant samples in a state with >73 000 annual births?
Summary Answer: The overall frequency of major chromosome abnormalities in the entire cohort was 28.2% (2493/8826), with a significant decrease in the detection of major chromosome abnormalities with later developmental stage, from 50.9% to 21.
Objectives: To explore the association between timing of diagnosis of common autosomal trisomies, maternal age, and socio-economic status (SES).
Design: Retrospective study of cytogenetic diagnoses of trisomy 21 (T21), trisomy 18 (T18), and trisomy 13 (T13) in Victoria, Australia, in 2015 to 2016, stratified by timing (prenatal less than 17 weeks gestation, prenatal including or greater than or 17 weeks gestation, and postnatal before 12 months of age), maternal age, and SES region. Utilisation of prenatal testing following a live-born T21 infant was ascertained via record linkage.
