Low Maternal Serum Levels of Pregnancy-associated Plasma Protein-A During the First Trimester are Associated with Subsequent Preterm Delivery with Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

Low Maternal Serum Levels of Pregnancy-associated Plasma Protein-A During the First Trimester are Associated with Subsequent Preterm Delivery with Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

Objective: To assess the relationship between the first-trimester maternal serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels and pregnancies complicated by preterm delivery. Materials and Methods: The correlation between PAPP-A levels and gestational age at delivery was analyzed by linear...
