Plasma IGFBP‐1, Fas, kallistatin, and P‐selectin as predictive biomarkers of histologic chorioamnionitis and associated intra‐amniotic infection in women with preterm labor

Problem To determine whether altered levels of 13 plasma biomarkers, alone or in combination, could be independently associated with histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) and microbial‐associated HCA (defined as the presence of HCA along with microbial invasion) in women with preterm labor (PTL). Method...

Description
Summary:Problem To determine whether altered levels of 13 plasma biomarkers, alone or in combination, could be independently associated with histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) and microbial‐associated HCA (defined as the presence of HCA along with microbial invasion) in women with preterm labor (PTL). Methods of Study This was a retrospective cohort study involving 77 singleton pregnant women with PTL (23–34 gestational weeks) who delivered within 96 h of plasma and amniotic fluid (AF) sampling. DKK‐3, E‐selectin, Fas, haptoglobin, IGFBP‐1, kallistatin, MMP‐2, MMP‐8, pentraxin 3, progranulin, P‐selectin, SAA4, and TGFBI levels were assayed in plasma samples by ELISA. AF obtained via amniocentesis was used for microorganism identification. Results Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed significant associations between low plasma IGFBP‐1 levels and acute HCA, and between low plasma Fas and kallistatin levels, and elevated plasma P‐selectin levels and microbial‐associated HCA (all p
