Resumo:Overview and aims: Standardization of screening tests lead to better care. The aim of this study was to describe and analyse screening practices during pregnancy among Portuguese Centres. Study Design and Methods: Written survey sent electronically to 41 public Portuguese Health Institutions which have an Obstetrics Department. Descriptive analysis of the collected data was performed. Results: Twenty-four surveys were obtained (58.5%). In most Centres combined aneuploidy screening is performed universally (79%). Preterm birth screening is performed through evaluation of cervical length at 20-22 weeks in most Centres (58%). A broad variety in performance was observed between Institutions regarding which infections were screened and their timing. Most institutions do perform preeclampsia screening (92%) and do not perform systematic evaluation of thyroid function in the absence of known pathology or signs/symptoms suggestive of thyroid disfunction. Conclusions: Although with some differences it was found that for preeclampsia, preterm birth and aneuploidy screening, the Centres have consistent practices
