Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease: impact of mode of delivery on neonatal outcome.

abstract：:A method is described to combine the ultrasound marker nuchal translucency (NT) with serum markers so that they can be used together in prenatal screening for Down syndrome in twin pregnancies. For monochorionic twin pregnancies (taken as monozygous), the two fetus-specific NT measurements are averaged before risk is ...
