  • Presejalni testi za Downov sindrom v nosečnosti = Screening test for Down's syndrome in pregnancy
    Novak-Antolič, Živa ...
    Most of pregnant women are familiar with the screening test for Down's syndrome based on maternal age. In Slovenia, two thirds of Down's syndrome babies are, however, born to younger women. There is ... an angoing research project, financed by Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of Health, using triple hormonal test and natal translucency measurement as screening for Down's syndrome. Problems - be it ethical, psychological, financial or laboratory - which arise with the introduction of screening tests, are described. Positive and negative aspects of screening tests should be explained to the pregnant woman; she than decides whether she wants the screenning test to be performed. Before, during and after testing, counsellingis a necessity. In some European countries triple hormonal test andnuchl translucency measurements are available in basic insurance arrangements. Discussions regarding this are still ongoing in Slovenia. In thefuture, there will be more tests in the first trimester of pregnancy; better sensitivity and specificity are hoped for.
