Can placental elasticity predict the time of delivery in cases of threatened preterm labor?

Aim We aimed to evaluate placental elasticity for the short‐time prediction of delivery in cases of threatened preterm labor (TPL). Methods We performed a prospective study with consented pregnant women diagnosed with TPL (24th to 34th gestational week). According to the birth time, the patients wer...

Description
Summary:Aim We aimed to evaluate placental elasticity for the short‐time prediction of delivery in cases of threatened preterm labor (TPL). Methods We performed a prospective study with consented pregnant women diagnosed with TPL (24th to 34th gestational week). According to the birth time, the patients were grouped into two groups, whether the delivery happened in the following first week or not. We compared the placental strain ratio (PSR) values between these two groups. Results A total of 108 pregnant women divided into two groups according to the delivery time were enrolled in our study. The pregnant women who had a delivery in 1 week after hospitalization have increased PSR values when compared to those who have not delivered within 1 week (P
