Vaginal MH tends to be detected with UU, and patients carrying both organisms simultaneously had more severe adverse pregnancy outcomes compared to patients in preterm labor or PPROM who were only positive for UU.

In the borderline AFI group, the presence of abnormal Doppler velocimetry measurement was related to increased risk of adverse perinatal outcome. Thus, borderline AFI of 5-8 cm, especially when associated with abnormal Doppler velocimetry, mandates closer antenatal surveillance.

Combined marker could be used as a simple and sensitive parameter for identifying women at risk of spontaneous preterm delivery.
