| Popis: | Objective: Comparison of three different methods of fetal lung maturity (FLM) testing in amniotic fluid (AF) to predict fetal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS): phospholipid concentration, phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and lamellar body count (LBC). Study design: 315 amniotic fluid (AF) samples were tested, 291 by determination of phospholipid, 237 by PG and 68 by LBC. Eighty one patients (26%) delivered within 3 days, incidence of RDS was 7% (n=6). Correlation of phospholipids and LBC to gestational age was analyzed as well as correlation of LBC and PG versus phospholipid concentration. Sensitivity and specificity for all three methods were calculated. Results: Phospholipids and LBC increased exponentially with gestational age (r regr=0.54, p |
