Amniotic fluid concentrations of sVEGFR-1 among women with spontaneous preterm labor (PTL) and intact membranes. There were no significant differences in the median amniotic fluid sVEGFR-1 concentrations among the subgroups of patients with PTL (PTL with term delivery: median: 101 ng/ml; range: 0.1–595.6 ng/ml; PTL who delivered preterm without IAI: median: 99.4 ng/ml; range: 0.7–459 ng/ml; PTL who delivered preterm with IAI: median: 98.7 ng/ml; range: 2.0–544.8 ng/ml; all p>0.05). LOD: limit of detection.
