Quality Control for Intravascular Intrauterine Transfusion Using Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) Analysis for the Monitoring of Individual Performance

Abstract

CUSUM analysis is a feasible method for quality control in fetal therapy. In an experienced setting, individual competence may be reached after 30 to 50 IUTs. Our data suggest that operators need at least 10 procedures per year to keep a level of competence.
