| Anmerkungen | Preterm labour is defined as regular contractions of the uterus resulting in changes in the cervix that start before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Point of care (POC) biomarker tests PartoSure, Actim Partus and quantitative Rapid fetal fibronectin (fFN) are intended for use with other clinical information to assess the risk of preterm birth in women with symptoms of preterm labour who have intact amniotic membranes. fFN is an adhesive glycoprotein that holds the membranes of the uterus to the fetal membranes. After 35 weeks of pregnancy, it begins to break down naturally, and is detectable in vaginal secretions. A positive result indicates an increased risk of pre-term labour and is useful in aiding patient management. The negative predictive value (NPV) of the test at 10 ng/mL is quoted as 100%, with a NPV at 50 ng/mL of 99.2%. The manufacturers quote a cut-off of >50 ng/mL as a positive result; indicating the likelihood of a preterm birth within the following 14 days. Further information is provided in NICE guideline on preterm labour and birth {NG25} Weqas offers 3 separate programmes, one for qualitative and quantitative fFn and separate programmes for phIGFBP-1 and PAMG-1. Key Features: - Liquid stable samples supplied ready to use for fFN and phIGFBP-1; no pre-analytical preparation is required. - Qualitative and Quantitative reporting available. - Linear related panel distributed covering the clinically relevant range. - Programme assesses both site and device performance, including bias, within and between batch imprecision and linearity for quantitative analytes. - Diagnostic accuracy assessed for the qualitative analytes. - Scoring based on Milan Model 3 performance specification.
