Denmark was the first country in the world to implement a national, free‐for‐all offer of prenatal screening for Down syndrome to all pregnant women. It has a high uptake (>90%) compared to other countries. Thus, Denmark offers an interesting case for investigating the consequences of implementing comprehensive, national prenatal screening guidelines. The aim of this study was to describe the historical developments in invasive procedures, pre‐/postnatal diagnoses of Down syndrome and Down syndrome live births in the period 1973–2016 in Denmark.
