Likelihood ratio for trisomy 21 in fetuses with absent nasal bone at the 11–14‐week scan
Open accessAbstract
Objective: To update the likelihood ratio for trisomy 21 in fetuses with absent nasal bone at the 11–14‐week scan. Methods: Ultrasound examination of the fetal profile was carried out and the presence or absence of the nasal bone was noted immediately before karyotyping in 5918 fetuses at 11 to 13+6 weeks. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the effect of maternal ethnic origin and fetal crown–rump length (CRL) and nuchal translucency (NT) on the incidence of absent nasal bone in the chromosomally normal and trisomy 21 fetuses. Results: The fetal profile was successfully examined in 5851 (98.9%) cases. In 5223/5851 cases the fetal karyotype was normal and in 628 cases it was abnormal. In the chromosomally normal group the incidence of absent nasal bone was related first to the ethnic origin of the mother, being 2.2% for Caucasians, 9.0% for Afro‐Caribbeans and 5.0% for Asians; second to fetal CRL, being 4.7% for CRL of 45–54 mm, 3.4% for CRL of 55–64 mm, 1.4% for CRL of 65–74 mm and 1% for CRL of 75–84 mm; and third to NT, being 1.6% for NT ≤ 95th centile, 2.7% for NT > 95th centile–3.4 mm, 5.4% for NT 3.5–4.4 mm, 6% for NT 4.5–5.4 mm and 15% for NT ≥ 5.5 mm. In the chromosomally abnormal group there was absent nasal bone in 229/333 (68.8%) cases with trisomy 21 and in 95/295 (32.2%) cases with other chromosomal defects. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that in the chromosomally normal fetuses significant independent prediction of the likelihood of absent nasal bone was provided by CRL, NT and Afro‐Caribbean ethnic group, and in the trisomy 21 fetuses by CRL and NT. The likelihood ratio for trisomy 21 for absent nasal bone was derived by dividing the likelihood in trisomy 21 by that in normal fetuses. Conclusion: At the 11–14‐week scan the incidence of absent nasal bone is related to the presence or absence of chromosomal defects, CRL, NT and ethnic origin. Copyright © 2004 ISUOG.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
