Figure 3. Comparison of amniotic fluid concentration of IL-6 between fetuses with anemia and those without anemia.

Figure 3

The median amniotic fluid IL-6 concentration was not significantly different between women with anemic fetuses and those with fetuses without anemia (anemia: 1089 pg/mL, interquartile range (IQR) 542–2009 vs. no anemia: 471.5 pg/mL, IQR 357–693; p=0.06). Intra-amniotic inflammation was diagnosed in only one fetus with FIRS. The interrupted line represents the cutoff value of amniotic fluid IL-6 concentration for the diagnosis of intra-amniotic inflammation. The “empty” dots represent fetuses with FIRS.
