Ultrasonographic prediction of homozygous α⁰‐thalassemia using placental thickness, fetal cardiothoracic ratio and middle cerebral artery Doppler: alone or in combination?

Abstract

The data suggest that adding MCA-PSV to CTR in the prediction of homozygous alpha(0)-thalassemia can increase the sensitivity at 12-15 weeks and decrease the false-positive rate at 16-20 weeks' gestation.
