Samenvatting

Prenatale screening op congenitale afwijkingen is in Nederland vanaf 2007 beschikbaar voor elke zwangere vrouw. Ontwikkelingen en medische vernieuwingen in dit domein volgen elkaar snel op en leiden onder meer tot steeds betere testkarakteristieken. Ondanks dat blijven de dilemma’s voor aanstaande ouders onveranderd complex. Vergeleken met omliggende landen wordt in Nederland relatief weinig gebruikgemaakt van prenatale screening op downsyndroom. In dit artikel beschrijven we kort de geschiedenis van prenatale screening op downsyndroom in Nederland en de achtergrond van het relatief lage deelnamepercentage. Vervolgens beschrijven we welke factoren een rol spelen bij gebruik van prenatale screening op diverse niveaus (overheid, organisatie, maatschappij, zorgverlening), met welke dilemma’s aanstaande ouders te maken krijgen en hoe ouders hierin worden begeleid. Tot slot reflecteren we op de rol van prenatale screening op aangeboren afwijkingen in de Nederlandse gezondheidzorg en maatschappij.
Voetnoten
1
Ten tijde van het onderzoek heette het screeningsprogramma ‘Screening op downsyndroom’, maar werd ook op edwards- en patausyndroom getest. Voor deelnemers lag de nadruk op downsyndroom voor de ethische afwegingen om eventueel aan de combinatietest deel te nemen. Voor de ethische dilemma’s zullen we ons in het artikel dan ook richten op de screening op downsyndroom.
