title: [Analysis of the serum concentration of pregnancy protein-1 (SP-1) offers no advantage in comparison with menstrual anamnesis and ultrasound biometry in determining gestational age].
abstract: In 69 patients with normal pregnancy the estimated day of confinement (EDC) was determined by three different methods (last menstrual period = LMP, ultrasound, and determination of Schwangerschaftsprotein-1 (SP-1) serum concentration). Ultrasound and LMP were shown to predict the EDC with approximately the same accuracy. While data obtained by LMP were scattered a little bit more around the mean value, data obtained by ultrasound tended to underestimate the EDC slightly. Determination of SP-1 serum concentration had the lowest predictive value in assessing the EDC. Accordingly, we don't consider routine SP-1 determinations to be a useful test in antenatal care.
