Abstract

Aim. To investigate serum levels of lactoferrin (LF), alpha-2-macroglobulin (a2-MG), alpha-1-antitrypsin (a1-AT), and albumin and their association with neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM). Materials and methods. This study tested serum samples from women with PROM at 24-33 weeks’ gestation, who gave birth to preterm infants without signs of intrauterine infection (IUI) (n = 35), mild IUI (n = 30) and severe IUI (n = 28). A control group comprised 27 healthy women who were tested at 24-33 weeks’ gestation. Serum samples were tested for LFconcentration using ELISA; a2-MG, a1-ATwere determined by a quantitative rocket immunoelectrophoresis assay and albumin by the biochemical method. Results. Women with PROM, regardless of newborns’ health status, had statistically signif icantly higher serum levels of LF and lower levels of albumin than women in the control group. Serum levels of a2-MG and a1-AT in pregnant women with PROM, who gave birth to babies with no signs of IUI, did not differ from those of healthy pregnant women. But they were significantly higher in mothers of neonates with mild forms of IUI and, on the contrary, signif icantly lower in mothers of neonates with severe IUI. The discriminant analysis showed that in a pregnant woman with PROM, the most sensitive prognostic marker for IUI in the fetus and newborn was the serum level of a2-MG. Serum levels of a2-MG ranging from 2.2 to 3.0 g/l were 86% predictive of the birth of a child without IUI; a2-MG level>3.0 was 85% predictive of the birth of a child with a moderate IUI; a2-MG level <2.2 g/l was 86% predictive severe generalized forms of IUI in a newborn. Conclusion. Testing for serum levels of LF, a2-MG, a1-AT, and albumin in pregnant women with PROM can be used to predict their babies’ health status in the early neonatal period.
