Efficacy of the regional reference system of prenatal diagnosis based on the analysis of results of Maternal-Fetal Medicine Centre in Olsztyn

Results of the analysis confirm the significance of the presence of a facility with a profile similar to MFMC in our region. Factors that improve detection of fetal abnormalities in our region may include: extension of the NHF program to the entire population of pregnant women, improvement of first trimester diagnosis, increase of the availability of reference fetal echocardiography in pregnant women over the age of 35. Infrastructure improvement in the province may also positively affect the detection of anomalies.
