Crowdsourcing assessment of maternal blood multi-omics for predicting gestational age and preterm birth
2021, Cell Reports MedicineCitation Excerpt :The diagnosis of PPROM was determined by a sterile speculum examination with documentation of either vaginal pooling or a positive nitrazine or ferning test.91 Spontaneous preterm labor and delivery was defined as the spontaneous onset of labor with intact membranes and delivery occurring prior to the 37th week of gestation.92 Demographic characteristics of the study population are summarized in Table S1, and they are available for each individual patient in the GEO datasets (see Data and code availability).
Born too young and likely to die; Should this continue?
2019, Scientific AfricanCitation Excerpt :One of these angles is the genetic angle which could be explored in an attempt to explain why black women are more predisposed to pre-term birth. This angle enjoys biologic plausibility because LPS levels positively correlate with infection a position further supported by the greater prevalence of amniotic fluid markers of inflammation further supports this view [13,14]. The infections angle enjoys even more support by reports of elevated matrix metalloproteinases among women suffering from bacterial vaginosis [15].
Transvaginal cervical length and amniotic fluid index: Can it predict delivery latency following preterm premature rupture of membranes?
2015, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :The GA and diagnoses of PPROM were carefully determined. Biologic mechanisms such as genetic variation and BMI3,25-27 have been proposed as explanations for disparities in PPROM and preterm birth. Other than Tsoi et al,17 none of the other referenced studies provide information on ethnicities or BMI of the study population.
Modeling the duration of the latency period after preterm premature rupture of the membranes according to maternal and pregnancy characteristics: DOMINOS study
2008, European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyCitation Excerpt :Cases of preterm labor followed by PPROM are scarce in the relevant literature. In 1995, Guinn et al. demonstrated that 17.4% of women with a quiescent uterus after preterm labor presented later with PPROM [17]. Campbell et al. mentioned a similar uterine reaction during premature labor triggered by intact or ruptured membranes [18].
