How many for cut-off point at 37years old?
Brief Answer:
NT risk
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The nuchal translucency thickness should be around 1.3 mm.
This thickness is correlated in the software and risk is estimated as down's syndrome possibilities 1 in how many women. This is 1 in 282 in your case.
Since your age is on higher side i.e. more than 35 years, the risks are high.
This risk can further be reduced by doing 2 blood tests
1. Free beta hCG.
2. PAPP-A.
These blood tests if normal would reduce your risk levels further.
Cut off as you asked should be risk 1 in more than 1000.
