Summary

This study examined whether certain immune cells in the blood of pregnant women hospitalized for preterm labor could predict if they would deliver within a week. Researchers measured specific markers on monocytes and lymphocytes from blood samples. The goal was to find a better way to identify which women are truly in labor, improving care and reducing unnecessary hospital stays.
