------>fullAbstract=OBJECTIVE: To assess the accuracy of fetal fibronectin (fFN) testing for prediction of preterm labour in asymptomatic high-risk women with a cervical cerclage. 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.
