Potential Peripartum Markers of Infectious-Inflammatory Complications in Spontaneous Preterm Birth

Figure 3

Amniotic fluid concentration of lipocalin-1, glycodelin, and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase relative to GIS and respective ROC curves. In concordance with the iTRAQ exploratory findings, women without MIAC and HCA had higher amniotic fluid lipocalin-1 levels than women in whom both conditions were confirmed whereas levels of glycodelin and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase were higher in women with MIAC and HCA. Some measurements did not pass the rigorous evaluation criteria for reporting only the most confident data, leading to slightly different numbers of observations subjected to statistical analysis.
