ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
A targeted routine antenatal anti-D prophylaxis programme was implemented in Denmark where anti-D immunoglobulin is given based on the result from noninvasive antenatal screening for fetal RHD. Our objective was to evaluate compliance with this new programme right after its initiation. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We examined the treatment outcome of 239 D-negative pregnant women who gave birth at our hospital between June and September 2010.RESULTS:
The majority of these women (90%) underwent antenatal RHD screening, 86% of the women who were recommended antenatal prophylaxis received anti-D, and 99% of the women who delivered RhD-positive infants received postnatal anti-D.CONCLUSION:
These compliance results are acceptable as they were obtained only a few months after the initiation of the new prophylaxis regime. However, suggestions to further improve compliance are presented.
