Abstract

As part of health technology assessment of rapid molecular tests, the health status changes and anxieties experienced by patients during the process of amniocentesis and waiting for results were explored. Patients were offered both a rapid test and karyotyping, both giving information on Trisotomies 21, 18 and 13 and sex-related abnormalities. Health status for the intervention group showed a loss of health status persisting through to the karyotyping result.
