aWe included pregnancies with any other aneuploidy than the one under analysis with all euploid cases as "unaffected" pregnancies.
bThe P value indicates the statistical significance of the difference in model fit and was obtained from likelihood ratio tests comparing models with and without a covariate for test type.
