The Preterm Prediction Study: association between cervical interleukin 6 concentration and spontaneous preterm birth
AR Goepfert, RL Goldenberg, WW Andrews… - American journal of …, 2001 - Elsevier
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the interrelationship between cervical
concentration of interleukin 6 and detection of fetal fibronectin and other risk factors for
spontaneous preterm birth. Study Design: All patients with spontaneous preterm birth at< 35
weeks' gestation (case patients; n= 125) and subjects matched for race, parity, and center
delivered at≥ 37 weeks' gestation (n= 125; control subjects) were selected from women
enrolled in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's Preterm …
