Expectations of ES and presequencing and reproductive decisions postsequencing.
| Presequencing expectations (From sequencing, I hope to have…) | Whole sample (n= 115) |
|---|---|
|
| |
| Future children | 96 (83.0) |
| A definite explanation for the cause of the loss of your baby? | 103 (90.0) |
| One-on-one help from a professional who can help you understand your future reproductive options? | 102 (88.7) |
| Information to guide your personal decision about whether you will have prenatal diagnosis in your next pregnancy? | 103 (90.0) |
| Reassurance, or information to reduce your concerns about children you may choose to have in the future? | 103 (90.0) |
| On a scale of 1 to 10: How likely do you think that your sequencing result will explain the loss of your baby/fetus/ pregnancy? (median, IQR) | 5 (3, 6) |
| On a scale of 1 to 10: How likely do you think your sequencing result will provide information about your own health that is unrelated to the loss of your baby/fetus/pregnancy? (median, IQR) | 4 (2, 5) |
| Postsequencing reproductive decisions | N= 94 |
| Have your sequencing results caused you to change your plans for having more children in the future? | |
| Yes | 5 (5.3) |
| No | 70 (74.4) |
| Undecided | 19 (20.2) |
| Have you decided whether you will have more children? | |
| Yes | 40 (42.5) |
| No | 9 (9.6) |
| Undecided | 45 (47.9) |
