out of 139 screening services submitted data, including 42 services that reported zero couples at risk. The combined test is offered in the first trimester to assess the chance of the baby having Down’s syndrome, Edwards’ syndrome or Patau’s syndrome, and is the test of choice.
National performance of NB2 (see standard NBS-S06) in Q2 was 2.2%, similar to the previous quarter. The trend graph below shows that England NB2 performance is above the acceptable threshold of 2%. NB2 is a KPI where a lower performance is better.FASP defines the national cut-off set at 1 in 150 at term for both first and second trimester screening tests. A woman with a result of 1 in 150 or greater (between 1 in 2 and 1 in 150), of having a pregnancy with T21, T18, T13 in the first trimester, or T21 only in the second trimester, is considered to be in the ‘higher chance’ group and offered an invasive diagnostic test. offer a 20-week screening scan to screen for 11 physical conditions (listed in the overview of the FASP handbook. This ultrasound scan is undertaken between 18 weeks plus 0 days and 20 weeks plus 6 days of pregnancy. The screening pathway must be completed by 23 weeks plus 0 days of pregnancy Sample did not arrive at the laboratory as specified in the specimen transport and storage section of the FASP handbook.

This standard is reported in 2 parts: S08a (local referrals) and S08b (tertiary referrals). Rationale For women who start screening between 18 weeks plus 0 days and 20 weeks plus 6 days and require a single further scan to complete screening where the image quality of the first scan is compromised by increased maternal body mass index ( BMI), uterine fibroids, abdominal scarring or sub-optimal fetal position. make sure all healthcare professionals record the woman’s decision to accept or decline screening clearly and accurately in line with local guidelines a condition is suspected or identified at the first scan that requires onward referral (for example, anencephaly) All 142 screening services submitted data, including 50 services that reported zero couples at risk.Data for each maternity service may be small and therefore would be aggregated and reported as regional or national figures. Data collection and reporting All screening services who submitted data (137 out of 139) met the acceptable threshold of 90%, with 133 meeting the achievable threshold of 95% and 17 of them reporting performance of 100%. Royal College of Radiologists ( RCR) and Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) standards for the provision of an ultrasound service To provide assurance that women with a suspected or confirmed unexpected finding are referred in a timely manner and receive timely intervention where appropriate. Definition National performance of FA2 (see standard FASP-SO2) in Q3 2022 to 2023 was 98.8%, similar to the previous quarter. FA2 is collected 6 months (2 quarters) in arrears. The trend graph below shows that England FA2 performance has remained above the achievable threshold of 95% since 1 April 2019.
The proportion of pregnant women eligible for fetal anomaly ultrasound screening who are tested leading to a conclusive result within the defined timescale. Rationale All requests for access to FASP data for research purposes need to be approved by the antenatal and newborn screening research advisory committee (RAC). All screening services that submitted data (137 out of 142) met the acceptable threshold of 90%, with 135 meeting the achievable threshold of 95% and 34 of them reporting performance of 100%. The main aim of DQASS is to monitor and support the quality and effectiveness of Down’s syndrome, Edward’s syndrome and Patau’s syndrome screening in England. Workforce – education and training National performance of FA2 (see standard FASP-SO2) in Q1 2022 to 2023 was 98.6%, lower than the previous quarter. FA2 is collected 6 months (2 quarters) in arrears. The trend graph below shows that England FA2 performance has remained above the achievable threshold of 95% since 1 April 2019.
Sample’ is defined as a request form (paper and or electronic) and blood sample for Down’s syndrome, Edwards’ syndrome and Patau’s syndrome screening using the combined test or Down’s syndrome screening using the quadruple test. The NHS offers screening to all pregnant women to assess the chance of their baby being born with T21, T18 and T13 in both singleton and twin pregnancies. Numerator: number of confirmed cytogenetic diagnoses of T21, T18, T13 following a higher chance T21, T18, T13 result from the combined test Numerator: number of screening test results reported by the screening laboratory to the maternity service on or before 3 working days of sample receipt.
Key performance indicator ( KPI) data reports are available for all 11 national screening programmes. In Q1 2022 to 2023, national performance of FA4 for inadequate combined samples was 4.1%. FA4 is a KPI where a lower performance is better. encourage all healthcare professionals who are involved in the pathway to complete the Screening for Down’s syndrome, Edwards’ syndrome and Patau’s syndrome e-learning resource every 24 months Data to be collated quarterly, 2 quarters in arrears. Due to the potential lag time between early booking and ultrasound scanning, the complete cohort cannot be accounted for until 2 quarters later.
