Fetal fibronectin detection for preterm birth prediction.
To study preterm birth prediction based on fetal fibronectin (fFN) in pregnant women, we randomly selected 124 patients. Vaginal posterior fornix secretions were analyzed using fFN quick test strips. Leucorrhea routine samples were collected to detect bacterial vaginosis, mycoplasma, and chlamydia. Delivery data at 7 days, 14 days, 34 weeks, and 37 weeks were documented and the sensitivity, spe...
متن کاملGestational age at cervical length and fetal fibronectin assessment and the incidence of spontaneous preterm birth in twins.
OBJECTIVES To estimate the risk of spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies based on transvaginal sonographic cervical length, fetal fibronectin (fFN) testing, and the gestational age at which these tests were performed. METHODS Women with twin pregnancies, cervical length assessment, and fFN testing between 22 weeks and 31 weeks 6 days in a single maternal-fetal medicine practice from 2...
متن کاملPrediction of spontaneous preterm birth in asymptomatic twin pregnancies with the use of combined fetal fibronectin and cervical length.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate combined fetal fibronectin (fFN) test result and cervical length (CL) as predictors of spontaneous preterm birth in asymptomatic twin pregnancies. STUDY DESIGN We examined a retrospective cohort of 155 twin pregnancies with combined fFN and CL testing between 22 and 32 weeks gestation. RESULTS A positive fFN test result at 22-32 weeks or a...
متن کاملPrediction of spontaneous preterm birth in patients with congenital uterine anomalies using combined fetal fibronectin and cervical length
Objective: To evaluate cervical length (CL) and fetal fibronectin (fFN) as predictors of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) in patients with congenital uterine anomalies. Methods: A retrospective cohort of patients with uterine anomalies and singleton pregnancies >22 weeks delivered by one maternal fetal medicine practice from 2005-2012 who underwent routine CL and fFN testing from 22-32 weeks wa...
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...
