چکیده

conclusions there is no statistically significant relationship between preterm delivery and type of sludge. results the prevalence of preterm delivery was 14/3%. the frequencies of term delivery in mothers with dense, light and no sludge were 78/6%, 82/1% and 96/4 % respectively, and for preterm delivery they were 21/4%, 17/9% and 3/6% respectively. but there was no statistically significant relationship between term and preterm delivery and type of sludge. neonatal weight in mothers with sludge, was significantly lower than mothers without sludge. objectives the main goal of this study is evaluation of relationship of intra-amniotic sludge in ultrasound exam and preterm delivery. methods in a cohort study included 84 pregnant women in 18 - 32 weeks of gestational age referred to islamic azad university of mashhad hospitals in 2015. cervical length measurement and intra-amniotic sludge were examined by transvaginal probe. depending on sludge density the cases were divided to three groups: no amniotic sludge, light sludge and dense sludge. according to gestational age at delivery time the women were classified into two groups: term (delivery after 37 weeks) and preterm (delivery before 37 weeks). background preterm labor is defined as labor occurring prior to 37 weeks which .there are different factors which can lead to preterm labor including maternal causes, chorioamnionitis, cervical insufficiency and others. because there is no satisfactory clinical method fop prediction of preterm labor, so it is important to look for some probable predicting markers by para clinical investigation.

Clinical significance of the presence of amniotic fluid ‘sludge’ in asymptomatic high-risk patients for spontaneous preterm delivery

Objective—To determine the clinical significance of the presence of amniotic fluid (AF) ‘sludge’ among asymptomatic patients at high-risk for spontaneous preterm delivery. Study design—This retrospective case-control study included 281 patients with (n=66) and without (n=215) AF ‘sludge’, who underwent transvaginal ultrasound between 13 and 29 completed weeks of gestation.

Mid-Trimester Amniotic Fluid High Sensitive C-Reactive Protein Level in the Prediction of Preterm Delivery

  Background and Objectives: Preterm labor is a serious problem in obstetrics, accounting for 70% of perinatal mortality. High sensitive C - reactive protein (HS-CRP) is a sensitive marker of Inflammation. Our aim in this study was to determine Amniotic fluid hs-CRP concentration and its correlation with pre-Term delivery.   Materials and methods: This prospective study was conducted on 90 p...

Data on clinical significance of second trimester inflammatory biomarkers in the amniotic fluid in predicting preterm delivery

In this article second trimester amniotic fluid biomarkers are measured for correlation with preterm delivery. One additional milliliter of amniotic fluid is collected during amniocentesis for dosages of IL-6, MMP-9, CRP and glucose levels, along with maternal serum CRP and glucose. MMP-9 and Il-6 levels were measured with the corresponding Human Quantikine(R) ELISA Kit (R&D systems) according ...

The role of amniotic fluid assessment in indicated preterm delivery.

Measuring amniotic fluid pockets with ultrasound is an efficient and reasonably reliable method of evaluating amniotic fluid volume and categorizing relative risk of perinatal morbidity. The most commonly used ultrasound criteria for oligohydramnios, SDP <2 cm and AFI <5 cm, assign approximately 2%-3% and 4%-5% of late preterm pregnancies into the "low amniotic fluid" category. The AFI offers s...

Cervical and intra-amniotic markers of preterm birth and infection

Background: Preterm delivery (PTD; < 37 gestational weeks), is one of the greatest unsolved obstetrical problems worldwide. As much as 80% of the perinatal mortality and 50% of the long-term neurological handicaps are associated with PTD. Spontaneous preterm birth (SPTD), i.e. preterm labor (PTL) or preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) is responsible for 55% of PTD. Clinical and experi...

Vascular changes after intra-amniotic endotoxin in preterm lamb lungs.

Chorioamnionitis is associated with preterm delivery and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), characterized by impaired alveolar and pulmonary vascular development and vascular dysfunction. To study the vascular effects in a model of chorioamnionitis, preterm lambs were exposed to 20 mg of intra-amniotic endotoxin or saline for 1, 2, 4, or 7 days and delivered at 122 days gestational age (term = 1...
