Journal Article
Bray, I., & Wright, D. E. (1998). Estimating the spontaneous loss of Down syndrome fetuses between the times of chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis and livebirth. Prenatal Diagnosis, 18(10), 1045-1054. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291097-0223%281998100%2918%3A10%3C1045%3A%3AAID-PD403%3E3.0.CO%3B2-R

Recent publications concerning the prevalence of Down syndrome at times of chorionic villus sampling (CVS), amniocentesis and livebirth were reviewed with particular interest in estimates of spontaneous loss of Down syndrome fetuses during pregnancy....

Joint estimation of Down syndrome risk and ascertainment rates: A meta-analysis of nine published data sets (1998)
Journal Article
Bray, I., Wright, D. E., Davies, C., & Hook, E. B. (1998). Joint estimation of Down syndrome risk and ascertainment rates: A meta-analysis of nine published data sets. Prenatal Diagnosis, 18(1), 9-20. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291097-0223%28199801%2918%3A1%3C9%3A%3AAID-PD210%3E3.0.CO%3B2-F

In this paper we present an analysis of nine data sets in which ascertainment and maternal age risk of Down syndrome are estimated jointly using maximum likelihood. We include data on 4825 Down syndrome cases from nine previously published data sets....

Application of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to modelling birth prevalence of Down syndrome (1998)
Journal Article
Bray, I., & Wright, D. E. (1998). Application of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to modelling birth prevalence of Down syndrome. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C, 47(4), 589-602. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9876.00130

Data collected before the routine application of prenatal screening are of unique value in estimating the natural live-birth prevalence of Down syndrome. However, much of these data are from births from over 20 years ago and they are of uncertain qua...
