Figure 4. Extracellular ASC concentrations in amniotic fluid of women with preterm PROM in the presence/absence of positive microbial detection and intra-amniotic inflammation.

Figure 4.

Extracellular ASC concentrations of amniotic fluid samples based on the presence/absence of positive microbial culture and/or positive bacterial 16S rRNA gene qPCR, and intra-amniotic inflammation (IL-6 concentrations > 2.6 ng/mL). Median values are indicated. Statistical results are from Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. Amniotic fluid categories marked by different letters were statistically different after sequential Bonferroni corrections were applied. N = 8–19 per group.
