The Influence of the Introduction of Fetal Anomaly Scans on Pregnancy Terminations in Cases of Upper Limb Anomalies: A Retrospective Cohort Study From 2000 to 2023
Earlier prenatal detection followed the introduction of STAS and FTAS. Despite this shift in timing, no consistent changes in termination rates were observed across the study periods. While overall TOP rates remained stable, a trend towards higher termination rates was observed for isolated reduction defects.
