The costs and economic benefits are examined of introducing a programme for the mass-screening of pregnancies for the detection and abortion of fetuses with spina bifida cystica. A benefit-cost index is derived, and the possible effects on it of making different input assumptions are discussed. It is considered that, on economic grounds, screening may be worthwhile only in populations in which the incidence of spina bifida is high.
对推行一项针对孕期进行大规模筛查以检测并终止患有脊柱裂囊肿胎儿妊娠的计划的成本和经济效益进行了研究。得出了效益成本指数,并讨论了做出不同输入假设对其可能产生的影响。研究认为,从经济角度来看,只有在脊柱裂发病率较高的人群中进行筛查才可能是值得的。
