Abstract

Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of nitrite (NO2) and non-thiolate nitroso compounds (RNO) for the detection of intrauterine pneumonia (IUP) in women with preterm labor and premature rupture of membranes (PROM).

Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included 87 patients. Plasma NO2+RNO, serum leukocyte and C-reactive protein levels were assessed in all patients on admission, and genital secretions were examined microscopically and culturally. NO2+RNO was determined using an enzyme sensor (RF patent #2461831). In addition, birth outcomes and neonatal developmental histories were analyzed. Based on retrospective analysis, five groups were formed: Ia – ≥37 weeks without PROM (n=21); Ib – ≥37 weeks + PROM (n=12), IIa – 220–366 weeks without PROM (n=12); IIb – 220–366 weeks + PROM (without neonatal IUP) (n=14); IIc – 220–366 weeks + PROM (with neonatal IUP) (n=28).

Results: In the presence of IUP, NO2+RNO values (3.02±0.90 μM) were statistically significantly higher when compared with groups without IUP (p<0.001). There was a statistically significant direct correlation between the presence of neonatal IUP and the level of maternal venous NO metabolites (rs=0.626; p<0.001). ROC analysis showed a sensitivity of 85.2% (95% CI 66.27–95.81) and specificity of 93.33% (95% CI 83.8–98.15) for NO2+RNO≥2.2 μM.

Conclusion: Determination of maternal venous nitric oxide metabolites has a high diagnostic accuracy for the early detection of IUP in preterm birth complicated by PROM: PPV 85.2% (95% CI 68.77–93.76), NPV 93.33% (95% CI 84.97–97.20). The use of this marker for the diagnosis of IUP will allow a personalized approach to selecting appropriate obstetric management and reducing adverse perinatal outcomes associated with infection.
