Maternal serum screening of
Palestinian women in the West Bank
A. Husseini1 and M. Akkawi2

ABSTRACT An audit was made of laboratory records of triple test results from 943 Palestinian women
residing in the West Bank from 2000–03. The mean expected age at delivery of the subjects was 25.5 years;
12% were 35 years old or above. Age was the main factor associated with an abnormal calculated risk score.
The frequency of elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein was 1.3%, abnormal human choriogonic gonadotropin
(elevated or reduced) was 1.9% and reduced unconjugated estriol was 0.3%.

Dépistage sérologique maternel chez des Palestiniennes en Cisjordanie
RÉSUMÉ On a procédé à un audit des dossiers de laboratoire pour les résultats du triple test de 943 Pales-
tiniennes résidentes en Cisjordanie durant la période 2000-2003. L’âge moyen des sujets prévu à la date de
l’accouchement était de 25,5 ans ; 12 % étaient âgés de 35 ans ou plus. L’âge était le principal facteur associé
à un score de risque calculé anormal. La fréquence du taux élevé de l’alpha-foeto-protéine sérique était de
1,3 % ; pour la gonadotropine choriogonique humaine anormale (élévation ou diminution), la fréquence était
de 1,9 %, et pour le taux diminué de l’estriol non conjugué de 0,3 %.
