Sponsored by Benha University · Observational
Study included all pregnant women admitted with threatened preterm labor during the study period. All participants underwent estimation of maternal serum homocysteine level and assessment of uterine artery Doppler indices.
Prospective cohort study. Study approval by local ethics committee. Informed written consent. Study included all pregnant women admitted with threatened preterm labor during the study period. All participants underwent estimation of maternal serum homocysteine level and assessment of uterine artery Doppler indices.
Pregnant with singleton pregnancy, more than 28 and less than 35 gestational weeks.
Exclusion Criteria:
included pregnant females delivered prior to completed 37 weeks of gestation. All participants underwent assessment of uterine artery Doppler indices and maternal serum homocysteine estimation
Diagnostic Test: Uterine artery doppler · Diagnostic Test: Maternal serum homocysteine estimation
Included pregnant females delivered after completed 37 weeks of gestation. All participants underwent assessment of uterine artery Doppler indices and maternal serum homocysteine estimation
Diagnostic Test: Uterine artery doppler · Diagnostic Test: Maternal serum homocysteine estimation
Uterine artery Doppler pulsatility indices
The accuracy of serum homocysteine levels and uterine artery pulsatility indices (UtA-PI ) for prediction of preterm labor
Sensitivity (%), specificity (%), positive predictive value (%), negative predictive value (%), positive likelihood ratio (number), negative likelihood ratio (number), accuracy (%) of serum homocysteine and UtA-PI for prediction of preterm labor
