Objective:To investigate the efficiency of maternal serum triple screening for the genetic abnormality in second-trimester and the morbidity of adverse pregnancy outcome in false positive results of the test. Methods: A total of 4 680 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies assigned in Obs & Gyn Hospital, Fudan University, underwent triple screening test (alpha fetoprotein, AFP; human chorionic gonadotropin, HCG and unconjugated estriol, uE3) by fluorescence enzyme immunoassay between 2003 and 2005. The valid MoM (Multiples of Median) value of mid-trimester serum AFP, uE3, and hCG and risk assessments was provided by Beckman Coulter Co. When applied in the prenatal Down syndrome screening service. The study compares the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities with Down syndrome in screen positive women and compares to the MoM value established in the literature. The risks of having a fetus with congenital abnormalities or of developing obstetric complications in the screen positive women with their matched controls.Results:The MoM values for the triple tests of our study are similar to established values of literature. Only 51.01% women with pregnancies agree to receive screening. Amniocentesis utilization rate was 55.12% in the screen-positive pregnancies. The false positive rate was 6.89% and the median of maternal age of the women was 28.13 (range 19 to 49) years old. Chromosomal abnormalities were identified in 21 pregnancies, including 9 cases of trisomy 21.The detection rate was 77.77%. Pregnancies with positive screening results had a significantly higher risk of adverse outcomes than those with negative results (P< 0.05). Whereas there was no difference in the incidences of fetal congenital appearance or skeleton abnormality. Conclusion: Adjusting MoM values of local unaffected populations is limited to increasing the detection rate. Because chromosomal defects have variable exhibitions, amniocentesis utilization is still a choice for screen-positive pregnancies. Screen-positive pregnancies had increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities.

AIM:To develop and validate a predic-tive model for the risk of high plasma concentra-tion of voriconazole,and to guide clinical individual-ized medication of voriconazole.METHODS:Based on the real-world data from the hospital Informa-tion system(HIS),the clinical data of hospitalized patients who received voriconazole treatment and underwent voriconazole plasma concentration monitoring in our hospital from August 2017 to Au-gust 2021 were collected.Univariate and multivari-ate logistic regression analysis were performed on the included influencing factors.At the same time,in order to minimize the potential collinearity and overfitting between variables,the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression were used to screen the potential predictors.Logistic re-gression analysis was used to construct a predic-tion model for the risk of high plasma concentra-tion of voriconazole.C-index,calibration chart and clinical decision curve analysis were used to evalu-ate the discrimination,consistency and clinical ap-plicability of the model,and a nomogram was drawn.RESULTS:A total of 147 patients were en-rolled in this study.Plasma albumin and procalcito-nin were selected as predictive variables for Logis-tic regression analysis,and the prediction model was established.Draw predict voriconazole nomo-gram risk blood drug concentration on the high side.The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the AUC of the prediction model for predicting the risk of high plasma concentration of voriconazole was 0.787(95%CI 0.663-0.911).Vori-conazole blood drug concentration was high inci-dence of cut-off value was 33.06%,sensitivity was 63.64%,87.65%and 58.33%positive predictive val-ue,negative predictive value of 89.87%.The cali-bration curve showed good consistency,and the clinical decision curve showed that the model had a positive net benefit when the threshold probabili-ty was between 6.67%and 99.99%.CONCLUSION:The predictive model for the risk of high plasma concentration of voriconazole has good predictive efficacy,which can provide guidance for clinical in-dividualized medication of voriconazole.
