Prenatal screening tests and prevalence of fetal aneuploidies in a tertiary hospital in Thailand.
This study evaluated prenatal screening test performance and the prevalence of common aneuploidies at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand. We collected data from screening tests which are first-trimester test, quadruple test, and noninvasive prenatal tests (NIPT) between January 2016 and December 2020. Thirt...

| description | This study evaluated prenatal screening test performance and the prevalence of common aneuploidies at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand. We collected data from screening tests which are first-trimester test, quadruple test, and noninvasive prenatal tests (NIPT) between January 2016 and December 2020. Thirty percent (7,860/25,736) of pregnancies received prenatal screening tests for aneuploidies disorders, and 17.8% underwent prenatal diagnosis tests without screening. The highest percentage of screening tests was first-trimester test (64.5%). The high-risk results were 4% for first-trimester test, 6.6% for quadruple test, and 1.3% for NIPT. The serum screening tests for trisomy 13 and 18 had no true positives; therefore, we could not calculate sensitivity. For the first-trimester test, the sensitivity for trisomy 21 was 71.4% (95% confidence intervals (CI) 30.3-94.9); specificity for trisomy 13 and 18 was 99.9% (95% CI 99.8-99.9); and for trisomy 21 was 96.1% (95% CI 95.6-96.7). For the quadruple test, the specificity for trisomy 18 was 99.6% (95% CI 98.9-99.8), while the sensitivity and specificity for trisomy 21 were 50% (95% CI 26.7-97.3) and 93.9% (95% CI 92.2-95.3), respectively. NIPT had 100% sensitivity and specificity for trisomy 13, 18 and 21, and there were neither false negatives nor false positives. For pregnant women < 35 years, the prevalence of trisomy 13, 18, and 21 per 1,000 births was 0.28 (95% CI 0.12-0.67), 0.28 (95% CI 0.12-0.67), and 0.89 (95% CI 0.54-1.45), respectively. For pregnant women ≥35 years, the prevalence of trisomy 13, 18, and 21 per 1,000 births was 0.26 (95% CI 0.06-1.03), 2.59 (95% CI 1.67-4.01), and 7.25 (95% CI 5.58-9.41), respectively. For all pregnancies, the prevalence of trisomy 13, 18, and 21 per 1,000 births was 0.27 (95% CI 0.13-0.57), 0.97 (95% CI 0.66-1.44), 2.80 (95% CI 2.22-3.52), respectively. |
