Abstract
FANDINO-LOSADA, Andrés et al. Positive predictive value of invasive prenatal diagnosis for chromosomal abnormalities. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2018, vol.66, n.1, pp.19-24. ISSN 0120-0011. https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v66n1.62098.
Introduction:
Invasive prenatal diagnosis (PD) for chromosomal abnormalities (CA) is performed following non-invasive tests indications and is based on the probability of finding an altered karyotype.
Objectives:
To identify the indications for invasive procedures in order to perform a DP for CA, estimate the positive predictive value (PPV) of each indication and estimate the odds ratio (OR) of finding an AC.
Materials and methods:
Cross-sectional study to establish the indications of invasive procedures to perform karyotypes in the records of a genetic diagnostic center in Cali, Colombia, in the period 2013-2015.
Results:
Out of 738 records of karyotypes analyzed, 103 (14.0%) had presented CA. The most frequent indications were unique anatomical alteration observed in second-trimester ultrasound (21.4%) and maternal age (18.8%). The indications with the highest PPV were altered nuchal sonolysis plus another ultrasound marker (80.0%) and history of 2 or more abortions (30.8%). The highest ORs of an altered karyotype were also nuchal sonolysis plus another ultrasound marker (OR = 1381.6) and history of 2 or more abortions (OR=153.5).
Conclusions:
Ultrasound was the main tool to indicate invasive PD procedures. Integrated biochemical markers were a rare indication.
