| Popis: | This study reports predictions for clinical respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) by means of a rapid test for fetal lung maturity based on fluorescence polarization of a dye (PCI 6) that partitions between surfactant and albumin in amniotic fluid. The test is completed in approximately 30 minutes and requires collection of a specimen volume of only 0.5 mL amniotic fluid. Results are reported as mg surfactantlg albumin (SIA value) equivalence. Ninety-three infants were delivered within 2 days of a collection of amniotic fluid and were followed up for the presence or absence of symptoms consistent with RDS. Ten infants, two of whom had anomalies, developed RDS. With a threshold of |
