Evaluation of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for aneuploidy in an NHS setting: a reliable accurate prenatal non-invasive diagnosis (RAPID) protocol

Abstract: BackgroundNon-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for aneuploidies is now available through commercial companies in many countries, including through private practice in the United Kingdom (UK). Thorough evaluation of service delivery requirements are needed to facilitate NIPT being offered more widely within state funded healthcare systems such as the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).

“…In this study all women undergoing DSS at the eight participating units and who have a risk of >1:1,000 were offered NIPT. RAPID has already provided two positive evaluation reports on NIPT [29,30]. On January 18 th , 2016, the UK National Screening Committee reported evidence based on the RAPID project that NIPT is highly accurate for detection of foetal chromosomal aneuploidies including the detection of trisomy 21, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13, and recommended it for implementation through the NHS to all women.…”
