摘要
Dual detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and free beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-HCG) is a common screening method for Down syndrome in the second trimester and its efficacy is assessed by false-positive rate (FPR). The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the bias in median multiple of the median (mMoM) values of AFP and free beta-HCG on FPR. The bias in mMoM values of AFP and free beta-HCG and the bias in mMoM values under different gestational ages and weight groups were analyzed. Median equations were adjusted, and medians in LifeCycle software were replaced by local medians. Following two adjustments of the median equations, all indices including FPR, mMoM values of markers and mMoM values under different gestational ages and weight groups generally reached an ideal state. In conclusion, abnormal bias in mMoM values may prompt aberrant application of median equations, and regular monitoring of these indicators may be important for quality control in prenatal screening.
