“…Probabilistic sensitivity analysis gave an incremental cost (saving) of -£25.58 with a 2.5th and 97.5th percentile of -£304. 96 and £240.06, respectively, indicating substantial uncertainty. Sensitivity analyses showed that the admission rate had by far the largest impact on the final results.…”

“…85,[90][91][92][93] The methodological quality of the included primary studies is summarised in Figure 8 85 with a summary LR-of 0.50 (95% 0.43-0.59) (χ 2 heterogeneity test p = 0.00) ( Figure 13). A receiver operating characteristics (ROC) plot of sensitivity versus specificity for cervicovaginal fFN in symptomatic women is shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15.…”

For primary prevention, an effective, affordable and safe intervention applied to all mothers without preceding testing is likely to be the most cost-effective approach in asymptomatic women in early pregnancy. For secondary prevention among women at risk of preterm labour in later pregnancy, a management strategy based on the results of testing is likely to be more cost-effective. Implementation of a treat-all strategy with simple interventions, such as fish oils, would be premature for asymptomatic women. Universal provision of high-quality ultrasound machines in labour wards is more strongly indicated for predicting spontaneous preterm birth among symptomatic women than direct management, although staffing issues and the feasibility and acceptability to mothers and health providers of such strategies need to be explored. Further research should include investigations of low-cost and effective tests and treatments to reduce and delay spontaneous preterm birth and reduce the risk of perinatal mortality arising from preterm birth.

“…Klinik pratikte en çok kullanılan biyokimyasal belirteç servikovaginal sıvıda fetal fibronektin ölçümüdür. Vaginal sıvıda fetal fibronektin mevcudiyeti doğumun başlayacağını göstermese de (PPD: %15-25); fibronektin saptanmaması 7 gün için-de doğumu NPD %99 üzerinde olacak şekilde dışlaya-bilmektedir [22]. Bu nedenle negatif sonuç doğum için düşük olasılık anlamına gelirken, pozitif sonuç hastanın doğum yapacağını göstermeyebilir.…”

Subjects were followed up for premature delivery within 7 days. Results: Seventeen of 44 patients (39%) had preterm delivery and 15 of 44 (34%) delivered within 7 day from admission. The only significant predictor for establishment of preterm delivery within 7 days was cervical length. The median cervical length was 18 mm (range: 5-27) in women who delivered in 7 days and 27 mm (range: 9-44) in women who delivered beyond 7 days of presentation (p=0.001). There was no association between serum and cervicovaginal fluid IL-17, MIF and MCP-1 levels and preterm delivery within 7 days. Conclusions: Cervical length could serve as a predictive factor for the progress of threatened preterm labor to true preterm labor. Serum and cervicovaginal fluid IL-17, MIF and MCP-1 can not be used to differentiate true preterm labor.
