Abstract
In recent years, the use of combined first-trimester screening (CFTS) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening has increased. With the rise of CFTS and cfDNA prenatal testing, there has been a dramatic decrease in the number of invasive diagnostic tests performed during pregnancy. In this study, the authors performed a record-linkage study to obtain state-wide cfDNA, CFTS, and postnatal cytogenetic data to determine the utilization and performance of different genetic screening pathways, as well as to determine the number of major chromosomal abnormalities detected following a low-risk CFTS or cfDNA result in Australia.
