Editing Prenatal testing (section)

Researchers have studied how disclosing amniocentesis or [[Chorionic villus sampling|chorionic villous sampling]] (CVS) results on a fixed date versus a variable date (i.e. "when available") affects maternal anxiety. Systematic review of the relevant articles found no conclusive evidence to support issuing amniocentesis results as soon as they become available (in comparison to issuing results on a pre-defined fixed date). The researchers concluded that further studies evaluating the effect of different strategies for disclosing CVS results on maternal anxiety are needed.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Mujezinovic F, Prosnik A, Alfirevic Z | title = Different communication strategies for disclosing results of diagnostic prenatal testing | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | issue = 11 | pages = CD007750 | date = November 2010 | pmid = 21069696 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD007750.pub2}}</ref>
