Authors' objectives: To determine whether DNA sequencing-based testing for T13, T18, and SCA using cell-free fetal DNA improves net health outcomes compared with a traditional combined serum- and ultrasound-based screening strategy. In the analysis, we presume that a decision to screen for fetal aneuploidy would initially focus on T21 and that downstream events related to T21 screening will hold for screening for T13, T18, or SCA.
