Patient's question:
The results of the Down syndrome screening are high-risk. What is the probability of an amniocentesis being unsuccessful?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the accuracy of the Down syndrome screening is not high. Even if the result is high-risk, it does not necessarily mean that the fetus has developmental abnormalities. Suggestions: If you wish to continue the pregnancy, further amniocentesis is needed. Based on the results of the test, you can decide whether to continue the pregnancy. This test has a higher accuracy. The probability of an amniocentesis being abnormal with a high-risk Down syndrome screening result is relatively low. Wishing you a good pregnancy. Doctor's inquiry:
