Evaluation of a New Predictive Test of Preterm Birth in Case of Threatened Preterm Labor
Sponsor: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France
Summary
Threatened preterm labor (TPL) is defined by cervical changes and regular and painful uterine contractions occurring between 24 and 36 + 6 weeks of gestation that may or may not lead to premature labor and delivery. There is no reliable way to predict preterm delivery. The study's hypothesis is that the Premaquick® test can improve the prediction of preterm delivery. The investigators also want to compare this test with the Partosure® (Placental alpha microglobulin-1) test.

Interventions
Premaquick®
Vaginal secretions are collected prior to any vaginal or endovaginal ultrasound examination to avoid false positives, with the nylon swab provided with the test (placed in the posterior fornix of the vagina for 10 seconds).Then the samples are tested with the Premaquick test. Results are obtained in 10 minutes.
PARTOSURE®
An immunochromatographic test wich determines the qualitative in vitro detection of placental alpha microglobulin-1 (PAMG-1) in cervico-vaginal secretions.
