Table I. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the study population.
Table II. Prevalence of intra-amniotic microorganisms in patients with PTL that underwent diagnostic amniocentesis (n = 16).
Figure 1. (a) Maternal TF (TIL: median 432.8 pg/ml, range 130.1–1043.7 vs. TNL: median 320.7 pg/ml, range 70.5–1415.2): (b) TFPI (TIL: median 56.6 ng/ml; range 30–87.7, vs. TNL: median 65.3 ng/ml, range 45.5–117.8), and plasma concentrations and (c) the TFPI/ TF ratio (TNL: median 201.4, range 40.1–1326.2 vs. TIL: median 126.2, range 48.3–457.3) between women with and without spontaneous labor at term.
Figure 2. Maternal plasma TF concentration in women with a normal pregnancy and patients with PTL according to the presence of intra-amniotic infection/inflammation and those who delivered at term. (Normal pregnancy median 291.5 pg/ml; range 6.3–2662.2; PTL who delivered at term: median 258.6 pg/ml, range 65.9–1495.3; PTL who delivered preterm without IAI: median 272.97 pg/ml, range 33.5–1774.6; PTL who delivered preterm with IAI: median 345.7 pg/ml, range 98.5–1237.0).
Figure 3. Maternal plasma TFPI concentrations in women with normal pregnancy and patients with PTL according to the presence of intra-amniotic infection/inflammation and those who delivered at term. (Normal pregnancy median 66.1 ng/ml; range 14.3–86.5; PTL who delivered at term: median 54.7 ng/ml, range 28.6–96; PTL who delivered preterm without IAI: median 56.7 ng/ml, range 30.3–78.5; PTL who delivered preterm with IAI: median 55.2 ng/ml, range 34.7–96.7).
Table III. Multiple logistic regression analysis of the association of maternal plasma TF concentrations and activity as well as TFPI and activity and preterm labor.
