Alpha-fetoprotein— A substance produced by a fetus' liver that can be found in the amniotic fluid and in the mother's blood. Abnormally high levels of this substance suggests there may be defects in the fetal neural tube, a structure that will include the brain and spinal cord when complet...
Introduction: Complete blood count (CBC) parameters change throughout pregnancy and are thought to be one of the factors affecting the pregnancy's outcome. This study aims to report variations in CBC parameters throughout pregnancy and their association with maternal age and gravidity. Methods: This...
Considering the recent Control of Hypertension In Pregnancy Study (CHIPS) trial, that revealed a substantial equivalence between “thigh and standard” blood pressure control in pregnancy, our group suggests implementing a strict blood pressure control (‘ideal’ target <130/80 mmHg, acceptable <140/...
Are my hCG levels normal? You’ll know your body is making hCG as soon as you see the positive sign on an at-home pregnancy test. But your doctor could check your levels, either with a second urine test or during your first pregnancy blood workup. ...
Blood samples are taken for screening for rubella and sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, hepatitis B, chlamydiosis, infection by the human immunodeficiency virus, and other conditions. A complete blood count is also needed. Urine is tested for albumin and sugar and examined ...
In the ADVANCE population, 75.4% of residential addresses have been geocoded to street address level, 1.6% to street segment, and 23.1% to postal/ZIP code levels. Study variables Anthropometry of the birthing person Maternal weights were extracted from EHR encounters. Plausible weights were defined...

Results of relevant laboratory investigations during the provision of routine care, such as blood haemoglobin concentrations, were recorded in the case report forms, and for those who developed pre-eclampsia, these usually included a blood platelet count, serum urate, urea, creatinine, and liver func...
levels alone predicted risk of incident GDM with a modest receiver operating characteristic (ROC) AUC value of 0.64. A model including only clinical variables (maternal age, gravidity, family history of diabetes, maternal BMI, gestational week at blood sampling) without IGFBP1 levels yielded an ...
white blood cell count in T3, hemoglobin in T3 and fetal weight estimation in T3 were important features. In other words, the classifier with automatic FSS could detect patterns in some features that are not normally considered relevant to ASD. Some features were selected unfrequently and many ...
