Trisomies were least frequent in adolescents (5.9%) vs. women 20\u201334 (9.3%) and \u226535\u00a0years (12.1%). Turner syndrome was more common in adolescents (4.6%) than in women 20\u201334 (2.8%) or \u226535\u00a0years (0.1%). Adolescents had a higher risk of unspecified fetal sex (RR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.16\u20134.35) and culture failure (RR = 4.32, 95% CI: 2.07\u20139.00). Ultrasound abnormalities were the main reason for invasive testing (86.3%, p &amp;lt; 0.001).
