Increased nuchal translucency and congenital heart defects in a low-risk population

Increased nuchal translucency and congenital heart defects in a low-risk population

Objective Increased first‐trimester nuchal translucency (NT) is a possible marker for congenital heart defects in euploid fetuses. In this study, we wanted to determine the sensitivity for congenital heart defects using the 95th centile of the NT as a cut‐off point. Methods All women who booked for...

Zusammenfassung:Objective Increased first‐trimester nuchal translucency (NT) is a possible marker for congenital heart defects in euploid fetuses. In this study, we wanted to determine the sensitivity for congenital heart defects using the 95th centile of the NT as a cut‐off point. Methods All women who booked for delivery in our hospital in the first trimester underwent NT measurement at a crown‐rump length (CRL) of between 35 and 75 mm. In all euploid fetuses and newborns with isolated or associated CHD, NT was examined retrospectively and classified as normal (
