There was a significant difference in the mean of free-β-HCG, inhibin-A, AFP level, and the risks of pre-eclampsia, SLOS and trisomy 18 between the two groups but no significant association was found in the mean of HCG, PAPP-A, UE3, NTD and other aneuploidies between the two groups. PCOS may affect the first- and second-trimester screening tests and pregnancy health. It may also require correction in the calculation of risks related to the first- and second-trimester screening for aneuploidy.
