Table 2.
Hazard ratios of various variables related to amniocentesis to delivery interval
Characteristics | Unadjusted hazard ratio (95% CI) |
Adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI)* |
---|---|---|
Intra-amniotic inflammation and/or MIAC | ||
Intra-amniotic inflammation (−)/ MIAC (−) (group 1) | Reference | Reference |
Intra-amniotic inflammation (+)/ MIAC (−) (group 2) | 2.78 (1.67–4.62) | 4.14 (2.36–7.26) |
Intra-amniotic inflammation (+)/ MIAC (+) (group 3) | 2.69 (1.25–5.80) | 4.48 (1.98–10.2) |
Cervical dilatation | 1.61 (0.97–2.69) | 1.71 (1.01–2.89) |
Gestational age at amniocentesis | 1.09 (1.01–1.18) | 1.17 (1.08–1.26) |
CI, confidence interval; MIAC, microbial invasion of amniotic cavity.
Adjusted for gestational age at amniocentesis, intra-amniotic inflammation, MIAC, and cervical dilatation (Cox proportional hazard model)
