Noninvasive factors predicting the maintenance of pregnancy for more than 4 weeks after rescue cerclage in singleton pregnancies with cervical dilatation and prolapsed membrane.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2024 March 30
Studies on noninvasive factors and predicting the maintenance of pregnancy, and those comparing the usefulness of these factors with invasive amniotic fluid markers in predicting the maintenance of pregnancy following rescue cerclage, are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, White blood cell (WBC) count, absolute neutrophil count (ANC), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in maternal blood, which are noninvasive and readily available clinical markers, can predict the maintenance of pregnancy following rescue cerclage in patients with cervical insufficiency (CI). A total of 142 singleton pregnant women (15-28 wk) who underwent rescue cerclage for CI were retrospectively evaluated. The interleukin (IL)-6 concentration in the amniotic fluid; CRP levels, WBC count, ANC, and PLR in the maternal peripheral blood; and degree of cervical dilatation were evaluated before cerclage. The primary outcome was whether the pregnancy was maintained for >4 weeks after rescue cerclage. Among the 142 patients, prolonged pregnancy for >4 weeks following emergent cerclage was observed in 107 (75.35%), while 35 (24.65%) gave birth within 4 weeks. This study demonstrated that the degree of cervical dilatation at diagnosis; WBC count, ANC, and CRP levels in the maternal peripheral blood; and IL-6 concentration in the amniotic fluid significantly differed between the successful and failure groups (all P < .05). The area under the curve (AUC) of the amniotic fluid IL-6 concentration was .795 for the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth within 4 weeks after rescue cerclage. Additionally, the AUC of the CRP level, cervical dilatation, WBC count, ANC, and PLR were .795, .703, .695, .682, and .625, respectively. These findings suggest that the preoperative CRP levels can be considered a useful noninvasive marker comparable to amniotic fluid IL-6 concentration for identifying pregnant women with CI at high risk of spontaneous preterm birth following rescue cerclage.
