Abstract

Background: PRETERM LABOR is considered one of the major health concerns and seconds congenital anomalies for infant morbidity and mortality. So far, various methods have been used to predict PRETERM LABOR; one of these methods is to measure mother’s serum ALPHA-fetoprotein level. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between maternal serum ALPHA- FETOPROTEIN level in weeks 11 to 13 of PREGNANCY and PRETERM LABOR.Methods: This nested case- control study was conducted with 105 pregnant women during their 11-13 gestation week presenting to Fatemieh Hospital in Hamedan for their routine prenatal care from 2013 to 2014. Maternal serum ALPHA-fetoprotein level was measured by Biomerieux standard kits through Vidas system in laboratory. PREGNANCY outcomes were followed up after delivery and recorded in a checklist. The data were entered into SPSS/21 software and were analyzed using the t-tes, Mann- Whitney U test and Chi- square test. P-value less than 0.05 was considered significant.Results: Maternal serum ALPHA- FETOPROTEIN level at 11-13 weeks was significantly higher in pregnant women experiencing PRETERM LABOR than that in women with term PREGNANCY (P<0.001).Conclusion: Maternal serum ALPHA-fetoprotein level in 11-13 weeks of PREGNANCY can help predict PRETERM LABOR in pregnant women.
