Objective: Based on postnatal data, we aimed to guide parental counseling, and further evaluation of UTD diagnosed at MTAS. Specifically, the utility of multi-disciplinary UTD classification system was tested.
Background: The present observational data from the fetal medicine unit aim to identify gaps in prenatal screening modalities employed in the primary obstetric care population in coastal Karnataka.
