Table 4 Comparisons of levels of progranulin among the subsets of preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (a) and spontaneous preterm labor (b) groups divided based on the presence or absence of microbial invasion of the amniotic fluid and intra-amniotic inflammation.
Intra-amniotic infection | Sterile intra-amniotic inflammation | Colonization of the amniotic cavity | Negative amniotic fluid | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
(a) | ||||
Intra-amniotic infection | – | p = 0.96 | p < 0.0001/p = 0.0005* | p < 0.0001/p = 0.0004* |
Sterile intra-amniotic inflammation | p = 0.96 | – | p = 0.0002/p = 0.001* | p < 0.0001/p = 0.002* |
Colonization of the amniotic cavity | p < 0.0001/p = 0.0005* | p = 0.0002/p = 0.001* | – | p = 0.45 |
Negative amniotic fluid | p < 0.0001/p = 0.0004* | p < 0.0001/p = 0.002* | p = 0.45 | – |
(b) | ||||
Intra-amniotic infection | – | p = 0.07 | p < 0.0001/p < 0.0001* | |
Sterile intra-amniotic inflammation | p = 0.07 | – | p < 0.0001/p < 0.0001* | |
Negative amniotic fluid | p < 0.0001/p < 0.0001* | p < 0.0001/p < 0.0001* | – | |
