The Prevalence of Vaginal Microorganisms in Pregnant Women with Preterm Labor and Preterm Birth
BACKGROUND To investigate the risk factors for vaginal infections and antimicrobial susceptibilities of vaginal microorganisms among women who experienced preterm birth (PTB), we compared the prevalence of vaginal microorganisms between women who experienced preterm labor (PTL) without preterm delivery and spontaneous PTB. METHODS Vaginal swab specimens from 126 pregnant women who experienced...
متن کاملSelective use of sonographic cervical length measurement for predicting imminent preterm delivery in women with preterm labor and intact membranes.
OBJECTIVES To determine, in a population of women with preterm labor and intact membranes, whether ultrasound cervical length measurement performed only in patients selected according to the Bishop score predicts imminent preterm delivery better than does systematic cervical length measurement in the entire population. METHODS The Bishop score and sonographic cervical length were recorded pro...
متن کاملScreening for preterm labor in low risk population using vaginal pH and ultrasound cervical length measurement in mid trimester
Objective: To assess diagnostic accuracy of vaginal pH and cervical length (CL) measurement in mid trimester in order to predict preterm labor (PTL). Methods: Prospective cohort study of 316 low-risk pregnant women. Vaginal pH was measured using test gloves for measuring the vaginal acidity, while CL was measured using transvaginal ultrasound. The cut off value for vaginal pH used was 5.0 (95 c...
متن کاملthe relationship between vaginal bleeding in the first and second trimester of pregnancy and preterm labor
background: vaginal bleeding is a common complication during pregnancy, which is observed in about 1/4 of pregnancies and in half of cases can lead to abortion. if vaginal bleeding happens during pregnancy some adverse pregnancy outcomes, including perinatal mortality and morbidity, low birth weight and preterm delivery will be increased. objective: the aim of this study was to determine the r...
متن کاملHuman cervicovaginal fluid biomarkers to predict term and preterm labor
Preterm birth (PTB; birth before 37 completed weeks of gestation) remains the major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The current generation of biomarkers predictive of PTB have limited utility. In pregnancy, the human cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) proteome is a reflection of the local biochemical milieu and is influenced by the physical changes occurring in the vagina, cervix and adjacen...
