Summary

This study tested a new combination test called Premaquick, which measures three markers in vaginal fluid, to see if it can better predict whether a woman with threatened preterm labor will deliver within 7 days. Researchers compared it to the standard fetal fibronectin test in 221 pregnant women. The goal is to improve accuracy and help doctors make better decisions about care.
