Problem based learning
Antenatal screening programme
What is screening? NICE guidelines Maternal screening:
Haemoglobinopathies Infectious diseases Gestational diabetes
Fetal anomaly screening Ultrasonography Downs syndrome screening
Factual learning objectives
Other learning opportunities and discussion points
Ethical issues around screening Explanation skills and problems Different roles in MDT Children with disabilities Communicating risk
‘Screening may be described as the process of looking at a population perceived to be at risk from a condition in an attempt to identify those at higher risk, in whom some intervention may be made.’
Not diagnostic Looking at general asymptomatic population
What is screening?
WHO screening criteria
The condition should be an important one.
There should be an acceptable treatment.
Facilities for diagnosis and treatment should be available.
There should be a recognised latent or early symptomatic stage.
There should be a suitable test which has few false positives and few false negatives.
The test or examination should be acceptable.
The cost, including diagnosis and subsequent treatment, should be economically balanced.
Discussion point - screening
Advantages of screening Problems with screening Issues with this case
Age of patient Involvement of partner Understanding of issues
In England, run by UK National Screening committee.
Antenatal: Fetal anomaly screening programme Infectious diseases in pregnancy Sickle cell and thalassaemia screening programme Gestational diabetes
Newborn: Newborn and infant physical examination Newborn blood spot Newborn hearing screening
Screening programme
Mothers should be aware of all options available to them, including the option to decline testing
Mothers should be aware of the benefits and limitations of screening tests and should understand the meaning of results to be obtained.
Counselling
Discussion point – giving information
How much information do mothers want?
How do we give this?
Who should give it?
When do we give this?
Does everyone need the same information?
Who - all women When - at booking Why - enable treatment, minimise risk of
transmission What - blood tests
HIV Hep B Syphilis Rubella susceptibility
Infectious diseases screening
Who: all women in units defined as high prevalence (fetal
prevalence of sickle cell disorder greater than 1.5 per 10,000 pregnancies)
In low risk units to women from high risk origins For all women inspection of blood indices
When: At booking
Why: Enable treatment, identify neonates at risk
What: Blood test for haemoglobinopathy Red cell indices
Haemoglobinopathy screening
Discussion point – ethical issue of justice and equality
Is it ethical to offer screening based on prevalence in an area?
What about women who are in area with low prevalence that don’t get screened?
What about women in a high risk area but that are personally low risk that get put through screening process?
Who: body mass index above 30 kg/m2 previous macrosomic baby weighing 4.5 kg or above previous gestational diabetes family history of diabetes family origin with a high prevalence of diabetes - South
Asian, Black Caribbean, Middle Eastern
Why: identify to enable optimum monitoring and treatment
What: Previous gestational diabetes - early self-monitoring of
blood glucose or oral glucose tolerance test at 16–18 weeks, followed by OGTT at 28 weeks if the first test is normal
Otherwise - OGTT to test for gestational diabetes at 24–28 weeks
Gestational diabetes
All women should be offered: A screening test for Down's syndrome
that meets agreed national standards An ultrasound scan between 18 – 20
weeks 6 days to check for physical abnormalities in their unborn baby
Information to help them decide if they want screening or not
Fetal anomaly screening
Who – all mothers When – between 10 and 20 weeks Why – to offer definitive testing and
option for termination if desired What……
A detection rate for Down's syndrome of greater than 75% of affected pregnancies with a screen positive rate of less than 3%.
Downs syndrome screening
According to NICE appropriate tests include:
from 11 to 13 weeks 6 days - the combined test (NT, hCG and PAPP-A) Preferred method as gives early diagnosis and only
needs one visit. Includes NT scan (done with dating scan) and
bloods.
from 11 to 13 weeks 6 days and 15 to 20 weeks - the integrated test (NT, PAPP-A + hCG, AFP, uE3, inhibin A) Need to attend twice for NT scan before 13 weeks
and then for bloods after 15 weeks.
What…..
What….. from 11 to 13 weeks 6 days and 15 to 20 weeks -
the serum integrated test (PAPP-A + hCG, AFP, uE3, inhibin A) Need to attend twice for bloods but does not
include NT scan (used if cannot measure NT e.g. due to baby position or patient body habitus)
from 15 to 20 weeks - the quadruple test (hCG, AFP, uE3, inhibin A) Only option for late bookers
Some special cases e.g. NT only for multiple pregnancies
Calculate risk depending on woman’s age and screening results (need to know gestation to interpret)
Woman's age (years) Risk as a ratio % RiskBelow 20 1:1600 0.067 20 1:1500 0.06630 1:800 0.12535 1:270 0.3740 1:100 1.045 and over 1.50 and greater 2.0
Categorise as high or low risk and offer invasive diagnostic testing to high risk. Cut offs:
1st trimester combined – 1:150 2nd trimester - 1:200 NT alone - 1:250
Then…
Discussion point –communicating risk
Quantifying risk: “There is a 5% chance that your baby will have Downs
syndrome” “Your baby is at high risk of having Downs syndrome” “The risk of your baby having Downs syndrome is 0.05” “Out of 20 babies, 1 would have Downs syndrome” “There is a 95% chance that your baby won’t have Downs
syndrome”
Relative v absolute risk: “Taking the COCP doubles your risk of having a blood clot” v
“Taking the COCP increases your risk of having a blood clot from 1 in 14000 to 2 in 14000”
“This drug will result in a 34% reduction in the risk of a heart attack” (88% took drug) v “This drug will result in 1.4% fewer people having heart attacks” (42% took drug)
Any questions at this point?
Discussion point to finish – community orientation
How do GP, midwife and consultant work together? What are their responsibilities?
What supporting services are available?
