Compared with qfFN, the PAMG-1 test is a better predictor of spontaneous delivery within 7 d while maintaining a very high negative predictive value. The PAMG-1 test is an easy-to-use bedside test that provides rapid results, does not require a speculum examination, can be used after vaginal exam and coitus and does not require specialized equipment to analyze results. As to be expected, compared with the conventional cutoff of fFN (50 ng/ml), a higher fFN cutoff of 200 ng/ml does seem to increase the PPV of the test, but this comes at a cost to the fFN test's SN and NPV, rendering it of little to no advantage in clinical practice.
