Development and validation of a tool incorporating cervical length and quantitative fetal fibronectin to predict spontaneous preterm birth in asymptomatic high‐risk women

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To develop a predictive tool for spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) in asymptomatic high-risk women that includes quantification of fetal fibronectin (fFN) along with cervical length (CL) measurement and other clinical factors. METHODS: Data were analyzed that had been collected prospectively from 1249 women at high risk for sPTB attending preterm surveillance clinics. Clinicians were blinded to...
