Is the result of the prenatal screening report for Down syndrome high-risk?

Patient's question:

Project Name Test Results MOM Value AFP 52.23 U/ml 0.48 HCG 53319 mIU/ml 2.1 Down Syndrome Risk Rate 1/231 Neural Tube Defect Risk 0.48 Maternal Age Risk 24.53 years What kind of help do you want: I want to ask if it's normal I want to ask if it's normal

Doctor's answer:

The risk remains high. Note: The risk rate for Down syndrome is 1/231, still considered high. Amniocentesis is relatively safe. High risk means better coverage for Down syndrome children. Low risk does not necessarily mean he is not a child with Down syndrome, because this blood test is only for detecting some serum markers in the mother's blood during pregnancy. Based on her gestational age and other relevant indicators, along with some ultrasound examinations, a comprehensive assessment of high-risk factors is conducted. If high risk, further tests are required.
