Abstract

The First- and Second-Trimester Evaluation of Risk (FASTER) Trial is conducted with the aim of giving direct comparative data on lately available screening approaches to Down's syndrome from a large population followed prospectively. First-trimester combined screening at 11 weeks of gestation is found to be better than second-trimester quadruple screening however at 13 weeks has results similar to second-trimester quadruple screening.

11. Evidence-based Dentistry : An Introduction

Author

Hackshaw, Allan K., Paul, Elizabeth A., Davenport, Elizabeth S., Hackshaw, Allan K., Paul, Elizabeth A., and Davenport, Elizabeth S.

Subjects
Evidence-based medicine, Dentistry--Research, Evidence-based dentistry, Dentistry--Miscellanea
Abstract

This introduction to Evidence-Based Dentistry provides a much-needed orientation in the subject for students and professionals alike. It is a ground-level book for those seeking to understand evidence-based dentistry and its significance for clinical practice. The book is anchored in the dental literature: the majority of the chapters offer guidance on interpreting a full published paper; where both the subject of the paper and the study design is of relevance to the field of dentistry. Each chapter is organised in a similar way, providing a structured approach to reading and understanding res.

23. The distribution of nuchal translucency at 10–13 weeks of pregnancy

Author

Schuchter, Katharina, Wald, Nicholas, Hackshaw, Allan K., Hafner, Erich, and Liebhart, Eva

Abstract

There is a need for a simple method of expressing nuchal translucency measurement in early pregnancy that will allow for gestational age and be useful in screening for Down's syndrome. To achieve this objective, we conducted a prospective study of 561 women with singleton pregnancies that were not affected by Down's syndrome at 10–13 weeks of gestation. Nuchal translucency measurements and crown rump length measurements were determined. Nuchal translucency measurement increased by about 17 per cent per week. Expressing the result as a multiple of the median (MOM) nuchal translucency for a given crown rump length allowed for this increase with gestational age and yielded a distribution of values that was approximately Gaussian. About 96 per cent of values lay between 0·5 and 2·0 MOM. The variance and therefore the false-positive rate of nuchal translucency were significantly reduced by recording several measurements and using the average: for example, the false-positive rate reduced from 8·3 per cent to 5·0 per cent if the average of six measurements were used instead of one—a potential 40 per cent reduction in the false-positive rate if the test were used in screening. Estimating the distribution of nuchal translucency in MOM values will assist in specifying the statistical parameters to be used in prenatal screening for Down's syndrome and the use of repeated nuchal translucency measurements is expected to have a useful effect on reducing the screening false-positive rate at a given MOM cut-off level. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
