An Isolated Echogenic Heart Focus Is Not an Indication for Amniocentesis in 12,672 Unselected Patients

1 Apr 2004

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of Down syndrome in fetuses with a heart echogenic focus using the Bayes theorem and likelihood ratios in an unselected population. METHODS: We prospectively evaluated 12,672 second-trimester sonographic features and extracted and examined a population with an echogenic focus for chromosomal anomalies. RESULTS: There were 479 cases of echogenic focus; 90.4% were isolated, whereas...
