阴道分泌物胎儿纤维连接蛋白与宫颈长度联合预测早产的多中心前瞻性研究

Objective To discuss the clinical value of fetal fibronectin (fFN) and cervical length in predicting preterm birth. Methods Totally, 511 pregnant women at 22-35 weeks of gestations were enrolled from Dec. 2006 to Dec. 2007 at 4 tertiary hospitals in Beijing, and all with either symptoms or high risk factors of preterm birth, but without preterm premature rupture of membrane or vaginal bleeding. Cervical fFN were determined and cervical length of each subjects were measured by ultrasound. The pregnancy outcomes were compared. Results The sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value (NPV) of fFN in predicting preterm birth within 7 d were 77.4%, 69.4% and 97. 9%, respectively; and 70.5%, 70.0% and 96.2% for deliveries within 34 weeks. The above figures changed to 54.8%, 66.3%, 95.8% for deliveries within 7 d and 59.1%, 67.2%, 94.6% for those within 34 weeks, respectively, when cervical length ≤3 cm was applied to predict preterm birth. When fFN and cervical length were combined, the sensitivity, specificity and NPV were 51.6%, 87.1%, 96.5% for deliveries within 7 d, and 45.5%, 87.60/00, 94.5% for those within 34 weeks, respectively. Conclusions FFN has higher NPV and specificity than cervical length in predicting preterm birth within 7 d and 34 weeks, and the positive predictive value and specificity can be improved when combined with cervical length.

新生儿重症监护病房早产儿脑损伤危险因素分析

Objective To investigate the incidence and the risk factors of preterm infants with brain damage in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods Premature infants ≤34 weeks of gestation or ≤ 2000 g of birth weight, admitted to NICU of the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from February 2006 to January 2007, were included in this study. Transcranial ultrasound was performed serially. Clinical data of the patients were analyzed to determine the incidence and the risk factors of brain damage. Results Totally 328 preterm infants achieved serial transcranial ultrasound scan. IVH occured in 141 cases (43.0%), among which, 101 infants had mild IVH, and 40 had severe IVH. Thirty two (9.8%) preterm infants had white matter damage (WMD), 44 (13.4%) had persistent ventricular enlargement and 35 (10.7%) had intracranial cystic lesions at the first transcranial ultrasound scan. The average birth weight and gestational age for preterm infants with IVH or WMD were significantly lower than those without (P<0.05). Birth weight, neonatal infection, small for gestational age, mechanical ventilation were independent risk factors of IVH, and birth weight was the only independent risk factor of WMD. Conclusions The incidence of brain damage in preterm infants remains relatively high in NICU. Birth weight, neonatal infection, small for gestational age, mechanical ventilation are independent risk factors of IVH. Birth weight is the independent risk factor of WMD.
