Gestational age (GA) regulation of amniotic fluid (A) NGAL; (B) MMP-9 and (C) NGAL•MMP-9 complex in women with normal pregnancy outcome who had the amniocentesis for either genetic (G), rule-out intraamniotic infection and inflammation (roIAI), or lung maturity (LM) testing. The red lines represent group medians. Data analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA followed by post-hoc Dunn's tests. Superscripts with different letters indicate statistically significant differences at P<0.05. (D) Spearman correlation coefficients between AF analytes measured in our study and GA. Significant direct correlations are marked by red highlight and significant inverse correlations are marked green highlight.
