RESUMENObjetivo: Establecer la eficacia diagnóstica de la determinación de gonadotropina coriónica en flujo vaginal para el diagnóstico de la rotura prematura de membranas. Método: Investigación de tipo prospectiva en muestra de 270 embarazadas que asistieron al Hospital Central "Dr. Urquinaona", Maracaibo, Venezuela. Los grupos consistieron en pacientes con rotura prematura de membranas (grupo A; n = 135) y embarazadas con membranas integras (grupo B; n = 135), consideradas como controles. Se evaluaron las características generales, valores de gonadotropina coriónica en flujo vaginal y efectividad diagnóstica. Resultados: La edad gestacional al momento de la determinación de las concentraciones de gonadotropina coriónica en flujo vaginal fue de 32,9 ± 1,6 semanas para el grupo A y 33,1 ± 1,9 semanas para el grupo B (p = ns). No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la edad materna y la frecuencia de paridad entre ambos grupos de tratamiento (p = ns). Las pacientes del grupo A presentaron concentraciones significativamente más altas de gonadotropina coriónica en flujo vaginal (697,4 ± 382,4 mUI/mL) comparado con las embarazadas del grupo B (91,4 ± 47,1 mUI/mL; p < 0,0001). Un valor de corte de 100 mUI/mL presentó un valor por debajo de la curva de 0,96 con una sensibilidad del 97,0%, especificidad del 51,1%, valor predictivo positivo del 66,5% y valor predictivo negativo del 94,5%. Conclusión: La determinación de las concentraciones de gonadotropina coriónica en el flujo vaginal es una técnica diagnóstica útil para la rotura prematura de membranas.PALABRAS CLAVE: Gonadotropina coriónica, rotura prematura de membranas, líquido amniótico SUMMARY Objective: To establish the diagnostical efficacy of chorionic gonadotropin in vaginal fluid determination for diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes. Method: A prospective research type was done with a sample of 270 pregnant women who assisted to obstetrics emergency at Hospital Central "Dr. Urquinaona", Maracaibo, Venezuela. Groups consisted in patients with premature rupture of membranes (group A; n = 135) and pregnant women with intact membranes (group B; n = 135), considered as controls. General characteristics, values of chorionic gonadotropin in vaginal fluid and diagnostic efficacy were evaluated. Results: Gestational age at the moment of determination chorionic gonadotropin in vaginal fluid was 32.9 ± 1.6 weeks in group A and 33.1 ± 1.9 weeks in group B (p = ns). There were no significant differences in maternal age and frequency of parity between groups (p = ns). Patients in group A showed significant higher concentrations of chorionic gonadotropin in vaginal fluid (697.4 ± 382.4 mUI/mL) compared with pregnant women in group B (91.4 ± 47.1 mUI/mL; p < 0.0001). A cut-off point of 100 mUI/mL showed a under the curve value of 0.96 with a sensitivity of 97.0%, specificity of 51.1%, positive predictive value of 66.5% and
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
