In the last ten years, due to false-positive test results, i.e., tests with low positive predictive values, there is an increase in unnecessary hospitalization days as well as unnecessary therapy. The probability of preterm birth is 25% in a population of pregnant women with symptoms of preterm birth. Objective: The aim was to analyze diagnostic accuracy of tests for the purpose of predicting premature births in< 37th and <34th week of pregnancy. Incidence of preterm births in < 37th week of pregnancy was 28%, while the incidence of preterm births up until 34th week of pregnancy, was < 8%. Methods: We included two groups of pregnant women in a prospective study; one group with the symptoms of threatening preterm birth between 22nd and 37th week of pregnancy and the other one of the same gestation period with no symptoms. Results: Each pregnant woman underwent test for placental alpha microglobulin-1, cervical length screening, cervical sampling for microbiological analysis, blood sampling for IL6 and CRP analysis. There were 16% of preterm births, up until 7 days from hospitalization, and they were all PAMG-1 positive; There is 75% of preterm births if PAMG-1 is positive with cervical length under 25mm. Combining tests, we reached the best predictive accuracy with positive PAMG-1 test, cervical length under 15mm along with the increase of CRP values above 15.96%. Conclusion: Total number of hospitalization days was 29% with preterm births up to 71% with full term births regardless the symptomatology, which justifies further studies towards releasing the pressure from the health care system and from doctors as well in the process of reaching a decision on treatment of pregnant women with the signs of preterm birth.","PeriodicalId":18358,"journal":{"name":"Materia Socio-Medica","volume":"29 1","pages":"118 - 122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81879432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
