Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS DlfAR0xV. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Systemic maternal infections have been associated with preterm delivery. The authors examined the association of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, with preterm delivery. This nested case-control study was conducted within Project Viva in Massachusetts between 1999 and 2002. Subjects were 117 women who delivered preterm (8 mg/liter). The association was stronger among cases who experienced spontaneous delivery (odds ratio=4.64,95% confidence interval : 0.94,22.96) versus indicated delivery (odds ratio=1.42,95% confidence interval : 0.44,4.61). These findings suggest that very high CRP levels in early pregnancy are associated with preterm delivery. |
