- Abstract
The article presents the result of the study conducted on the combination of fetal nuchal translucency (NT) thickness, pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), and the maternal serum free beta human chorionic gonadotropin as an effective screening program. It also explores the independent effect of covariates on their levels in Chinese ethnic women undergoing first-trimester down syndrome screening. The study's result shows the value of determining localized biochemical marker correction.
