NCT ID NCT01977079
First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a blood marker called procalcitonin can help predict which pregnant women hospitalized for threatened premature labor will actually deliver early. About 131 women participated, and researchers compared procalcitonin levels between those who gave birth before 37 weeks and those who did not. The goal was to improve prediction of preterm birth, but the study was terminated early.
