Decision making during the prenatal diagnostic procedure. A questionnaire and interview study of 211 women participating in prenatal diagnosis.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Abnormal maternal serum analytes (pregnancy associated plasma protein A, total human chorionic gonadotropin, alpha fetoprotein, Inhibin A, and unconjugated estriol) measured as part of aneuploidy screening programs have been associated with adverse obstetrical outcomes in euploid pregnancies. This study aimed...
