Reports from King Abdulaziz University Add New Data to Research in Diagnostics and Screening [Knowledge and Attitude Regarding Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) among Women: A Cross-Sectional Study in Saudi Arabia].

A recent study conducted in Saudi Arabia aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude of Saudi Arabian women regarding non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). The study found that the majority of women had poor knowledge about NIPT, despite having a positive attitude towards it. Only 14.8% of the respondents had undergone NIPT, with the most common indication being a recommendation from their healthcare provider. The researchers suggest raising awareness about NIPT, including its use, indications, prices, and possible complications. [Extracted from the article]
