Introduction
"Down syndrome screening" refers to screening for Down syndrome. Generally, a Down syndrome screening report can be interpreted by considering several aspects: risk value, blood markers, and general information. The report typically provides the risk value of the fetus having Down syndrome. This risk value is calculated based on multiple factors, including maternal age, blood marker levels, and ultrasound findings.
NTS refers to Down syndrome screening. Typically, a Down syndrome screening report can be comprehensively evaluated from several aspects: risk value, blood markers, and general information. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Risk value: The Down syndrome screening report usually provides the risk value of the fetus having Down syndrome. This risk value is based on multiple factors, including maternal age, blood markers, and ultrasound findings. Normally, the result of Down syndrome screening should indicate low risk. If the result shows intermediate or high risk, it is considered abnormal, indicating an increased probability of the fetus having related congenital genetic disorders.
2. Blood markers: Down syndrome screening often involves blood tests. It is important to check whether the specific blood markers are within normal ranges, as abnormal blood marker levels may suggest an increased risk of the fetus having Down syndrome.
3. General information: The Down syndrome screening report may also include other general information such as maternal age, gestational age, and ultrasound measurement results. These details help in the comprehensive assessment of risk.
Doctors will conduct a detailed evaluation and interpretation of the Down syndrome screening report. It is recommended to consult a doctor for accurate result interpretation.
