Variability of adjustments to indices in determining patient risk in biochemical screening.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:This report wants to focus on the risk of severe prematurity in patients with the hypermobility type of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), a heritable disorder of connective tissue. Although various obstetrical complications have been reported in patients with EDS, most reports specifically comment on the sev...
