## Fetal Loss in Down Syndrome Pregnancies In a recent paper, Morris et al. (1999) deduce that about 43 per cent of Down syndrome pregnancies are destined to result in spontaneous loss between the first trimester and term. This relatively high estimate for the rate of loss is derived on the basis o
It is recognized that pregnancies with Down syndrome are liable to end in spontaneous fetal loss. It is important to determine the magnitude of this effect so that it can be taken into account when assessing the results of antenatal screening programmes for Down syndrome. Failure to do so will tend
Several previous studies have suggested that maternal smoking is associated with a decreased incidence of trisomy 21. By using the Swedish health registries, 1,321 infants with Down's syndrome (DS) were selected among 1,117,021 infants born in 1983-1993 with known smoking exposure in early pregnancy
To assess the influence of in vitro fertilization (IVF) on maternal serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), the maternal serum hCG and AFP values were studied in 67 IVF pregnancies and compared with the results of a control group of 4732 spontaneously conceiving patien
Early pregnancy loss (EPL), detected by patterns of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) in urine, is the biomarker employed in investigations of the impact of personal, workplace or environmental reproductive toxins on human fertility. An issue central to these studies is what, in terms of urinary h
