Amniotic fluid concentrations of sVEGFR-1 in patients with preterm labor

(PTL) and intact membranes who delivered at term, and in those with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) with and without intra-amniotic infection/inflammation (IAI). Patients with preterm PROM with (median: 45 ng/ml; range:1.4–255.6 ng/ml) and without IAI (median: 56 ng/ml; range: 8.9–398.2 ng/ml) had a significantly lower median amniotic fluid concentration of sVEGFR-1 than those with PTL who delivered at term (median: 101 ng/ml; range: 0.1–595.6 ng/ml) (p<0.001 and p=0.002; respectively). Amniotic fluid sVEGFR-1 concentrations did not change with the presence of IAI (p=0.3). LOD: limit of detection. *: p<0.05
