The objective of this paper is to evaluate the rate of detection of chromosomal abnormalities through the non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) and its contribution to reducing the number of invasive tests. We conducted a prospective study on a batch of 3,000 single-pregnancy pregnancies highlighted in the first trimester.

The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the two screening methods are almost similar, using NITP screening we obtain a rate of approximately 20% lower false-positive results, and we also perform a smaller number of invasive tests.
