OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this review paper are to: describe the fetal fibronectin assay,
its purpose, and clinical significance; evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the fetal …

Objective To determine if fetal fibronectin can be used in a clinical setting to predict preterm
birth and guide clinical management. Study design We implemented a clinical protocol …

The objective of this study was to determine if cervicovaginal fibronectin is predictive of
preterm birth. Articles involving human subjects published in English between January 1976 …

Objective: This study was undertaken to determine whether fetal fibronectin determination is
more useful for predicting preterm delivery in clinical practice than it has appeared to be in …

It has been shown that serial fetal fibronectin sampling has close to a 70% sensitivity in
detecting preterm labor or delivery in an asymptomatic population. The objective of this …

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate fetal fibronectin as a screening test for
subsequent preterm birth in asymptomatic pregnant women. Objective: Eighty-seven …

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the risk of preterm delivery in the asymptomatic
obstetric population of L'Aquila by means of fetal fibronectin immunoassay in cervicovaginal …

OBJECTIVE: We examined clinical value of cervical fetal fibronectin detection by a
quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as a predictor of preterm delivery in a …

Background. Preterm delivery is the leading cause of neonatal mortality in the United States,
but efforts to address the problem are hampered by the inability to predict accurately which …

Preterm delivery remains a worldwide problem hindered by many unknowns, not the least of
which is an inability to detect patients at risk for this complication of pregnancy. A unique …
