A Decade of Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) for Chromosomal Abnormalities in Croatia: First National Monocentric Study to Inform Country’s Future Prenatal Care Strategy

Our findings demonstrate the increasing efficiency and accessibility of NIPT in prenatal care in Croatia, while the significant reduction in TAT and the decreasing age of women undergoing NIPT reflect enhanced operational practices and broader acceptance. Introducing NIPT into the public healthcare system in the Republic of Croatia could improve equitable access to advanced prenatal care and enhance pregnancy outcomes. Future advancements in technology and genetic counselling will further enhance its role, requiring careful attention to ethical and regulatory considerations.
