Aim: The objective of this study is to determine the predictive role of cervical length, cervicovaginal irrigation liquid vitronectin and prolactin levels in preterm birth.
Material and Methods: A total of 73 pregnant women between 24-34th gestational week were included and the study population was divided into two groups as: term birth group (n=54) and preterm birth(n=19). Birth weeks, weight and methods were noted. The irrigation fluid has been collected from posterior fornix and vitronectin levels are detected by Enzyme-linked-immunosorbent-assay method.
Results: Vitronectin were higher in preterm group as compared to controls [90 (78-98) vs 16 (9-41) ng/ml, p
