Abstract

Premature delivery is an essential problem in the modern obstetrics. Revealing and marking the high-risk group of pregnant women in time could be used as one of the methods of its prevention.

A routine database of pregnant patients was generated. The group of premature delivery patients was marked as those who delivered before the beginning of the 10th month of pregnancy.

MS-AFP (maternal serum AFP) screening values of pregnants were measured and transformed to the multiples of medians (MOM), corresponding to the particular week of pregnancy for enabling the comparison during the whole period of screening. Statistical investigation was performed using data analysis advanced methods.
