Article Synopsis
- Early risk assessment in pregnancy can help prevent serious issues like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes by identifying at-risk mothers early on.
- This study reviewed 77 articles on first-trimester prediction models focused on maternal characteristics, excluding those using biochemical or ultrasound data, and found varied effectiveness in predicting outcomes.
- Many of the models showed a high risk of bias, and there’s a need for better validation processes, indicating that while tools exist, their reliability and clinical use must be improved.
The screening performance of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in vanishing twin (VT) pregnancies is relatively unknown. To close this knowledge gap, we conducted a systematic review of the available literature. Studies describing the test performance of NIPT for trisomy 21, 18, 13, sex chromosomes and additional findings in pregnancies with a VT were retrieved from a literature search with a publication date until October 4, 2022.
