To investigate the influence of Down syndrome risk estimates obtained from maternal serum screening (MSS) on women's choices regarding amniocentesis.
Women who screened positive for Down syndrome by an Ontario MSS program between 1993 and 1998 were grouped on the basis of their risk estimate and ethnicity. Amniocentesis uptake rates between the groups were compared in order to determine how the MSS risk estimate influenced uptake.
Analysis of 16 792 women showed that amniocentesis uptake rates increased as the estimated risk increased. Uptake in women < or = 35 was higher than that for older women (70% vs 60%, p = 0.001). Uptake in Caucasian and Asian women was higher than the uptake in Black women (67% vs 49%, p = 0.001). Women aged 35 years or older were more likely to proceed with amniocentesis if the MSS risk estimate was higher than their age-specific risk.
The increase in amniocentesis rate paralleled the increase in MSS risk estimate for Down syndrome. Risk-specific amniocentesis rates are higher in women aged less than 35 years. Women aged 35 years or older whose risk estimate by MSS is lower than their age-specific risk are less likely to opt for amniocentesis.
研究通过母血清筛查(MSS)获得的唐氏综合征风险评估对女性羊水穿刺选择的影响。
1993年至1998年间在安大略省MSS项目中唐氏综合征筛查呈阳性的女性,根据其风险评估和种族进行分组。比较各组之间的羊水穿刺接受率,以确定MSS风险评估如何影响接受情况。
对16792名女性的分析表明,羊水穿刺接受率随着估计风险的增加而上升。年龄≤35岁女性的接受率高于年龄较大女性(70%对60%,p = 0.001)。白种人和亚洲女性的接受率高于黑人女性(67%对49%,p = 0.001)。如果MSS风险评估高于其特定年龄风险,35岁及以上的女性更有可能进行羊水穿刺。
羊水穿刺率的增加与唐氏综合征MSS风险评估的增加平行。年龄小于35岁的女性中,特定风险的羊水穿刺率更高。MSS风险评估低于其特定年龄风险的35岁及以上女性选择羊水穿刺的可能性较小。
