Patients found chorionic villus sampling (CVS) satisfactory, valuing early diagnosis. Most preferred CVS over amniocentesis and would accept higher miscarriage risks for this prenatal screening method.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Prenatal Diagnosis
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a key prenatal diagnostic technique.
  • Indications for CVS include advanced maternal age, genetic abnormalities, and fetal sexing.
  • Patient perspectives are crucial for understanding the acceptance and utility of invasive prenatal procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess patient attitudes and satisfaction following chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
  • To evaluate patient perceptions of early diagnosis and compare CVS experience with amniocentesis.
  • To gauge patient willingness to accept procedural risks associated with CVS.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to 190 patients who underwent CVS.

  • 152 patients (80%) completed the questionnaire.
  • Data collected included reasons for referral, procedure type, satisfaction, and risk acceptance.

    • Main Results:

    • 93% of patients found CVS satisfactory and valued early diagnosis.
    • 81% reported a better experience with CVS compared to prior amniocentesis.
    • 97% would accept a miscarriage risk twice that of amniocentesis for CVS.

    Conclusions:

    • Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a highly satisfactory prenatal diagnostic procedure for patients.
    • Patients perceive significant benefits from early diagnosis offered by CVS.
    • There is strong patient acceptance of CVS, even with a higher risk profile than amniocentesis.
