Abstract
Objective. To assess the PartoSure test and cervicometry used to define the risk of preterm birth. Subjects and methods. A test for PAMG-1 and cervicometry were performed in 49 patients with threatened preterm birth. Time to delivery (TTD) intervals was estimated if labor occurred. Results. The test was positive (+) in 100% of cases if the cervical canal length (L) was 4 1.5 cm (6% of the patients); at the same time, preterm births occurred in 75% (TTD=18 and 44 hours). When L was 1.5 to 3 cm, the positive (+) test was seen in only 1 case (85%) (TTD=140 hours). The relationship between the results of the test and cervicometry, their diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, the prognostic value of positive and negative results were determined. Conclusion. The PartoSure test in conjunction with cervicometry is a technique to determine whether threatened preterm birth may be managed in an outpatient setting.
