Objective To investigate whether chromosomally normal fetuses with a nuchal translucency (NT)≥

Objective

Ultrasound screening of fetal malformations in our population has a low false positive rate and even though the overall sensitivity is low, 28.4%, the detection rate for many common structural malformations is relatively good.

It could not be shown that survival and outcome for children with major cardiac defects was better when the defect was known prenatally than if it was detected postnatally. The size of the study prohibits conclusions on moderate differences.
