DESIGN: Retrospective observational study. SETTING: United Kingdom. POPULATION: Nine hundred and ten asymptomatic women at high-risk of Preterm birth referred to specialist antenatal clinics and undergoing fFN testing between November 1997 and December 2007. METHODS: Women had fFN tests taken between 23(+0) and 27(+6) weeks~ gestation, on one or more occasions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values and negative predictive values of fFN testing for predicting delivery <30 and <37 weeks were compared in those with and without cerclage. RESULTS: For delivery <30 weeks~ gestation, the specificity of fFN testing was significantly lower in women with cervical cerclage (77% vs 90%; P < or = 0.00001). The sensitivity of the test was similar between the groups (78.6 (no-cerclage) vs 60% (cerclage); P > 0.4). The negative predictive value of the fFN test for delivery <30 weeks was high in both groups (>98%). CONCLUSIONS: Asymptomatic high-risk women with cerclage in situ are more likely to have a false positive fFN test. The negative predictive value is similar. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=10628 ------>authors2=Au HK ------>authors3=Chank CW ------>authors4=Tzeng CR ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Tai CJ ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Fetal fibronectin as a predictor of spontaneous preterm labour in asymptomatic women with a cervical cerclage. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2002 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=None |
