To assess the effect of smoking on maternal serum, second-trimester inhibin A levels, we studied a database of 1277 women undergoing antenatal serum screening. There were 75 smokers, 1008 non-smokers and 194 women in whom smoking status was undetermined. All groups were matched for age, gestation an
In an analysis of 3111 singleton pregnancies routinely screened in the first trimester with nuchal translucency, free beta hCG and pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) smoking has been found to occur in 20.8 per cent of pregnant women. When the individual marker levels were assessed in smo
Maternal serum inhibin-A concentration is a useful marker in prenatal screening for Down syndrome in the second trimester. We measured inhibin-A concentrations in 4304 pregnancies without Down syndrome between 14 and 22 weeks of pregnancy to determine the median values according to gestational age.
