| Summary: | The aim of this prospective study was to investigate a value ofinsulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) in cervicalsecretion in women with symptoms of preterm delivery and correlatethis test to the Bishop Score in prediction of a preterm delivery.The study group included 30 pregnant women with singletonpregnancy between 24 – 34 gestational weeks who were hospitalizedbecause of a threatening preterm delivery with intact fetalmembranes. A positive Actim Partus test (concentration higherthan 10 µg/l) and Bishop Score higher than 4 signify a risk of thepreterm delivery. The Bishop Score is a better predictor of the pretermdelivery in patients with symptoms of the preterm delivery. |
