Direct guidance
What to know or do
Ask which components were assessed, how the score is used in your situation and what follow-up or timing decision is recommended. A score should be explained by the treating team, not interpreted in isolation online.
What changes the answer
- Whether this is screening, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment or birth planning
- Pregnancy week, previous results and what the result could change
- Benefits, limits, alternatives, follow-up and the time available to decide
Check with your care team
When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
