Clinical significance of intra-amniotic inflammation in patients with preterm labor and intact membranes ☆ ☆☆

TL;DR: Intra-amniotic inflammation/infection complicates one third of the patients with preterm labor (32%; 65/206 women), and its presence is a risk factor for adverse outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical significance of intra-amniotic inflammation in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes

TL;DR: In this paper, the frequency and clinical significance of intra-amniotic inflammation in patients with preterm premature rupture of the membranes was determined, and the authors concluded that intraamniotic inflammatory markers are a risk factor for impending preterm delivery and adverse outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

The clinical significance of detecting Ureaplasma urealyticum by the polymerase chain reaction in the amniotic fluid of patients with preterm labor.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to determine the clinical significance of a detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum by using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the amniotic fluid of patients with preterm labor and intact membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

An elevated amniotic fluid matrix metalloproteinase-8 level at the time of mid-trimester genetic amniocentesis is a risk factor for spontaneous preterm delivery.

TL;DR: Elevated mid-trimester concentrations of amniotic fluid matrix metalloproteinase-8, and cytokines such as interleukin-6 and angiogenin can identify patients at risk for spontaneous preterm delivery in patients undergoing mid- Trimester amniocentesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A rapid matrix metalloproteinase-8 bedside test for the detection of intraamniotic inflammation in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes

TL;DR: The MMP-8 PTD Check test is a rapid, simple, and sensitive bedside test to detect intraamniotic infection/inflammation and to predict adverse outcome that includes short latency, chorioamnionitis, and significant neonatal morbidity in patients with PPROM.
