Abstract:
Urine pregnancy diagnostic test is easily available. It is a requirement of the screening program for Myanmar workers who pursue employment in Thailand. Only a few studies have estimated population pregnancy rates using objective and laboratory-based criteria. Here, the authors performed a study on laboratory-measured pregnancy rates among Myanmar workers who pursue employment in Thailand from an experience in a tertiary hospital in Thailand. The data from medical records of the female Myanmar migrant workers who got a diagnostic urine pregnancy test at Division of Laboratory Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand, from July 2004 to June 2005 were reviewed. A total of 263 medical records were reviewed in this study. There were 17 positive cases of the overall 263. The diagnostic test results were negative in 246 cases (93.5%) and positive in 17 (6.5%). Screening for the urine pregnancy among these migrant workers can help decrease the improper antenatal care.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
