The objective was to analyze the serum estriol levels among patients with sings and symptoms of preterm labor and/or preterm rupture of membranes.A prospective study included pregnant women with sings and symptoms of preterm labor. The main end point of the study was the delivery28 days from testing.196 patients were included. 116 patients were included in group I (idiopathic preterm labor), 37 patients in group II (PROM) and the control group (group III) consisted of 43 patients. The incidence of preterm delivery was 31% in group I; in the PROM group all the patients delivered preterm. The mean serum estriol levels in all groups were compared regarding delivery28 days from testing. In group I patients that delivered28 days had statistically higher serum level of E3 (14.5 ng/ml vs. 11.1 ng/ml, p = 0.03); in group II the mean E3 serum level did not differ significantly (12.5 ng/ml, p = 0.168). The detailed analysis revealed that significant difference was observed in patients tested after completed 30 wk of gestation (15.4 ng/ml vs 12,8 ng/ml, p = 0.043), but not in patients30 wk of gestation (9,5 ng/ml vs. 10.0 ng/ml, p = 0.842).The serum level of E3 seems to have prognostic value in the diagnosis of preterm delivery among symptomatic patients after 30 week of gestation. |
