What is the calculation of the Down syndrome screening?

Patient's question:

What is the Down syndrome screening estimation? What kind of apps are there on mobile phones?

Doctor's answer:

The best time for Down syndrome screening is when the pregnant mother is in the 15th to 20th week of pregnancy, with the ideal time being the 16th to 18th week. This is because during this stage, a thorough examination can predict the likelihood of the fetus suffering from congenital intellectual disability. Each test value should be followed by a standard reference value. If the test value falls within the normal reference range, it is normal and there is no problem. This software should be inaccurate, so it's best to go to the hospital for a more accurate screening, as this is the most reliable method.
