I just googled it and 1:5000 seems to be low risk. I'm sure if it wasnt low risk they would have told you more or invited you back for more tests. Call them if you want your results explained.

A weighted risk in excess of 1:386 is considered high (a result defined as "abnormal").
Women with a high weighted risk are invited to come for genetic counseling, where the results are explained to them and they are advised to undergo invasive diagnostic testing (amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, depending on the week of gestation).
Only this will give a precise, final result for whether the fetus has Down syndrome, another chromosomal disorder, or has normal chromosomes.
