Note: All models adjusted for gestational length at time of test and cervical dilatation except those stratified by fibronectin result due to sample size restrictions;
Two patients who delivered preterm within 48 hours by augmentation of labor or cesarean delivery due to maternal- fetal indications were excluded from this analysis;
Two patients who delivered preterm within 7 days by augmentation of labor or cesarean delivery due to maternal- fetal indications were excluded from this analysis;
Two patients who delivered preterm within 14 days by augmentation of labor or cesarean delivery due to maternal- fetal indications were excluded from this analysis
