Ultrasound assessment of cervical length in threatened preterm labor.
OBJECTIVE More than 70% of women presenting with threatened preterm labor do not progress to active labor and delivery. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that in women with threatened preterm labor, sonographic measurement of cervical length helps distinguish between true and false labor. METHODS We examined 216 women with singleton pregnancies presenting with regular an...
متن کاملTotal matrix metalloproteinase-8 serum levels in patients labouring preterm and patients with threatened preterm delivery.
Preterm labour and prematurity are still a main cause of perinatal morbidity nowadays. The aim of our study was to assess the role of MMP-8 as a predictive marker of preterm delivery. Four groups of patients were involved to the study: I - pregnant women at 24-34 weeks of gestation with any symptoms of threatened preterm labour; II - threatened preterm labour patients between 24-34 weeks of ges...
متن کاملThe Value of Interleukin-8 and Interleukin-6 in Cervical Secretions as Predictors of Preterm Delivery
Background and Objective: Preterm birth occurs in 8% to 11% of all pregnancies and is responsible for 75% to 80% of all neonatal deaths. Cytokines may be involved in the etiology of preterm birth through their stimulation of prostaglandin synthesis. Cytokines may be released intocervicovaginal fluid during the breakdown of the chorio-decidual adhesion or from an inflammatory reactio...
متن کاملSonographic measurement of cervical length and fetal fibronectin testing in threatened preterm labor.
OBJECTIVE In women presenting with threatened preterm labor, both fetal fibronectin and sonographic measurement of cervical length have been shown to distinguish between true and false labor. The aim of this study was to determine whether the combination of both tests provides a better prediction than the individual tests alone. METHODS We examined 195 women with singleton pregnancies present...
